[TYPO3-english] problem with External Data Import ext

Following up on Xavier's remark, I toyed a bit with this offset inside 
the transformation method of external_import and it works fine by adding 
the offset inside the method, since it is later subtracted by TCEmain.

I have created an issue with the relevant patch:

If you don't mind I would prefer to apply it only to the future version 
2.0.0, as I would like to make as little changes as possible to the 1.x 
branch, but if you consider this to be critical I may be swayed :-)

Cheers
