New issue 1619 by pekka.klarck: New standard library for date and time handling
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1619

This library should have at least following features:

1) Converting time stamps like '2014-01-02 18:42:01.123' (format should be somehow configurable) to seconds since Unix epoch (and possibly also to Python's DateTime objects). Also opposite conversion should be supported.

2) Converting time strings like '1 hour 2 minutes 3.45 seconds' to seconds (and possibly to Python's TimeDelta objects). Also opposite conversion should be supported.

3) Calculating between time stamps and time strings. For example, '2014-01-02 18:42:01.123 - 2013-12-24 00:42:00.123' or '2014-01-02 18:42:01.123 + 1 day 2 hours'.

4) Comparing time stamps and time strings.

5) Validating time stamps and time strings.

This library would be handy in test data and could also be used by test libraries that want to support "Robot's time format" or need date/time handling otherwise. Both usages happen to be important for teams at NSN.
