nsIFile now uses milliseconds from 1970.  This should be *good enought*. There 
should be an scriptable interface which will convert from a human readable 
string to a 1970 offset (trival).  Marking this bug as fixed.  Feel free to open 
a new bug on this conversion service and assign it to me, if you so desire.

This is not working for me.  Samir helped me verify.  We can't seem to get past 
the following:

file = 
Components.classes["component://mozilla/file/local"].createInstance(nsILocalFile
);

Reopening.

And SetLastModificationDate isn't implemented in nsLocalFileMac so it's broken 
there too.  Working on a Mac impl and have a fixed Win32 impl in my local tree.

assigning to samir.  samir, give me a call if you can not get createInstance to 
work.  I highly doubt that:

file = 
Components.classes["component://mozilla/file/local"].createInstance(nsILocalFile
);

Fixed horkage on Win32 and Unix.  Implemented Mac.  Verify this by verifying 
5107.
