[Orgmode] Timestamp increment inside tables

[Niels Giesen]

Hi Carsten,

Please consider this patch to `org-table-copy-down', serving to increment 
timestamps in
an org-table while copying down, similar to integer icrements:

--- org.el      2007-04-25 08:26:21.000000000 -0100
+++ org2.el     2007-05-03 19:24:00.776923788 -0100

Table alignment does not seem to pose any problems, but this is one thing that 
might
require some critical looking into.
