For 0.5 we're adding a Shotwell feature that lets the user adjust 
photos' timestamps.  We've already implemented this in trunk, though at 
the moment Shotwell only updates its internal database, not the EXIF 
data in the photos.  Soon, we'll improve this so that the EXIF dates get 
updated as well.
