Description
This one just bit me. If your headers have standard ISO date strings (e.g. 1958-02-05)
then to read them correctly you have to specify CELL.TIME to be "BACKWARDS".
As this is the standard time format, having to say "BACKWARDS" is confusing.
This should be changed, or at least ISO should be acceptable. I have checked in a
patch to support either form, but didn't deprecate BACKWARDS. If not too late,
I'd rather change the code to make ISO order the default, and require an option
"USA" to accept MM-DD-YY.

Very good points.
ISO order is now the default (you don't need to define it; actually, you
shouldn't define it, or you'll get an error).
BACKWARDS is now defined for dd-mm-yyyy.
Added USA for mm-dd-yyyy.
Updated the code in CVS head. Beware --- this may break your camera formats.
Updated a single camera format configuration in our configuration tree
(config/gpc1/format_raw.config), which used ISO format (removed the entry
completely, since that is the default).
