[Dx4win] Strange flaw in Importing with DX4WIN Filter

[Paul van der Eijk]

I was actually working around a bug in a library that I use. Older 
versions did something funny with 59 seconds, so I made them 58!
I changed it back to 59, and it seems to work :)

(There is more convoluted logic in this piece of code. Many logging 
programs do not store the seconds in the time, so I add them as I read
the QSOs during import. so I can keep the QSOs in the same order 
when the times are equal)

I know that the documentation for XTreeWin mentions it, and that program actually allows you to set a time window of >2 seconds when comparing file time stamps so that files with time stamps differing by 2 seconds can be recognized as identical.
