Including timepicker breaks existing datepicker 'setDate' method.

[enderwiggum]

Problem: I have an existing datepicker usage. I include the timepicker JS and this line breaks:

$( "#eventdate" ).datepicker('setDate', 'today');

Looks like the '_setDateDatepicker' function on line 725 expects the argument to always be a date object; the datepicker docs say different (you can use words like 'Now', 'today', etc.).

Workaround: instead of string 'today', pass an empty Date object:

$( "#eventdate" ).datepicker('setDate', (new Date()));

The Error I got (from Opera 11.00 on WinXP 32-bit):

Uncaught exception: TypeError: 'date.getTime' is not a function

I fixed it where it shouldn't throw the error, but timepicker still doesn't support "today", "Now", etc.. It also mentions you can do '+1m +7d' type things too. This will be a fairly drastic change. Unless I can get someone to help out with this feature it may be a version or two down the road.
