[R-SIG-Finance] Passing dates from Excel to R using RExcel functions

[Krishna Kumar]

I have had no problems passing date in as dataframes back and forth and 
is now my prefered method..  No need to even do as.Date or know
all the Posixct kungfu although it is worth knowing all that..
[Instead of  rput I use rputdataframe and this works like a charm with 
zoo or the new Diethelm's timeSeries class .]


Best,
Krishna
