I put a list of date/time classes and pointers to documents describing 
them on the R-wiki at 
http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=guides:times-dates

The various reasons one might use each of them are described in the 
documents. (If anyone feels like adding summaries to the "tips" section 
on the Wiki, please go ahead!)
