/**
 * SDODate - a means of hiding the time_t.
 * The SDO API in several places uses method overloads to allow the
 * same method to set many types of data. As time_t and long are 
 * sometimes synonymous, it was not possible to have a time_t and a
 * long method, so SDODate simply wraps the time_t.
 * SDODate also allows modifcation of the implementation, as time_t is
 * only a short-term solution - better date/time handling is required.
