[Zope] keeping original dates of objects when importing zexp ?

[Jens Vagelpohl]

any "retain existing date" just cannot work if the date is using 
bobobase_modification_time. that's because bobobase_modification_time 
has nothing to do with the application itself, it is a ZODB 
database-level value that cannot be "set" from any application. only 
the database itself can manipulate it.
