Re: Regression: Problems with Timestamp arguments

I've made a blunt stab at working around the issue.
The attached patch adds a new parameter to the JDBC URL: timestamp.
The parameter can be wither 'with_timezone' or 'without_timezone'. If
the parameter is missing, or has a different value then the current
behaviour (using Oid.UNSPECIFIED) is exhibited. With the parameters
specified correctly one of the Oid.TIMESTAMP or Oid.TIMESTAMPTZ is
used when sending Timestamp arguments to the server.

I am not sure whether this is the correct way to request new
features/enhancements, or what is the work-flow for accepting patches,
so feel free to scold me.

I believe the patch to be backwards compatible and very
light-weight, but it may deviate from the code formatting and code
practices of the project.
