[TYPO3-mvc] Native DateTime properties not supported by DataMapper

[Anja Leichsenring]

Hi Nico,

thanks for your work on this.

I think we should close the other issue (will have a closer look to this 
later the day) and start fresh with your patch on the whole DateTime 
support.

Sadly, but true, there are no unit tests for the DataMapper, so perhaps 
you write the first one with your patch?

Greetings Anja
