Hello Thomas,

First thank you for your patch. For having read the contents of the
patch, it seems to be properly implemented (There are also some extra
*.orig files that are useless in the patch). I would however not apply
it to 2.2.3 officially because this branch is "stable", instead I will
integrate it to the CVS trunk (current development) with probably some
minor modifications.

Maybe I will also add something to pass the date in a more human
readable manner than just specifying the seconds since Jan 1st, 1970.

Just missing an update of the man page ;-) to tell what option to use
and what argument to give it.

Seriously, I must congratulate you on the fact that you respected and
understood the global architecture of dar.

Regards,
Denis.
