[TYPO3-mvc] f:format.date timezone "problem"?

Hey,

This is already what happens. If you look at
https://svn.typo3.org/TYPO3v4/CoreProjects/MVC/extbase/trunk/Classes/Persistence/Mapper/DataMapper.php
- there are two methods which do the heavy lifting:

1) thawProperties() -- goes through the list of properties of an object,
and depending on the type, converts the property.
2) for DateTime or subclasses of it, mapDateTime() is called -- I guess
that is where your nice functionality could be integrated.

If you are interested, then it'd be great if you could try out creating
a patch, or if not, that's not a problem either :-) The feature will
just then take a little longer.

Greets,
Sebastian
