 I have been playing around with the OGR provider in FDO Toolbox with some
 sample MapInfo data, and I have noticed some strange behaviour as a result
 of the GDAL upgrade from 1.4 to 1.6

 Using the last FDO 3.4 pre-beta release (with bundled GDAL/OGR 1.4)

 - Any property named UFI_CREATED or PFI_CREATED is a string property

 Using the FDO 3.4 beta 1 release (with bundled GDAL/OGR 1.6)

 - Any property named UFI_CREATED or PFI_CREATED is now a DateTime property
 which can potentially screw up on any feature reader calls to
 GetDateTime() because there is nothing in that particular property that
 can be parsed into a DateTime

 Perhaps the updated GDAL/OGR library might have gotten smarter with
 respects to MapInfo or the OGR provider made some assumptions that no
 longer apply?
