Log:
bugfix for Zope versions > 2.9.3:

 * Zope 2.9.3 introduced recognition of XML-RPC !DateTime objects (previously it treated them as strings, which prevented proper treatment of them by clients), however, the `DateTime` class of Python's [http://docs.python.org/lib/datetime-objects.html xmlrpclib] doesn't offer any way to create an actual `datetime`- (or `DateTime`-) object, so I introduced a string-based hack to create a valid !DateTime instance.
 * For the same reason it is no longer advisable to write a string representation of the modified date into the XML-RPC dict.

This change probably breaks !MetaWeblog-functionality for pre Zope 2.9.3-based instances. Affected users will either have to update or provide a patch that isn't quite as oblivious to the Zope version running it as this... sorry, but I'm absolutely scratching my own proverbial itch here...
