[mythtv] [patch] XMLTV timestamps, TimeOffset and mythfilldatabase

[William Uther]

Hi all,

   This is a followup to my email yesterday.  This patch does three 
things:

   - Combines the addTimeOffset() and fromXMLTVDate() functions in 
mythfilldatabase so we have one XMLTV time parser (and we no longer 
parse, unparse and then re-parse timestamps)
   - Changes the meaning of a missing XMLTV timezone spec to mean UTC 
instead of local time (in line with the XMLTV spec).  Setting the 
mythtv-setup TimeOffset value to "None" will allow people to achieve 
the old effect - the timestamp interpreted as local time.
  - Makes "Auto" TimeOffset setting do the conversion to local time for 
each program separately.  This uses the new conversion routine added to 
handle the recent Qt timezone weirdness.

   I've done some basic testing on this (it compiles and works for me 
with my standard settings), but not a whole lot (I haven't yet tried 
faking data to test other settings).  Comments encouraged.

   This should _not_ go in before the next (0.18) release :).  It needs 
more testing.

Cheers,

Will        :-}
