I've added a DateTime element to svn.
It's a sub-class of HTML/FormFu/Element/Date.pm and adds extra 'hour'
and 'minute' Select menus.

The tests cover passing a DateTime object to $field->default() and
outputting a DateTime object by setting $field->auto_inflate(1) - so
that should cover integration with
DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::DateTime.

You will need to be running HTML-FormFu from svn for it to work - it
needs changes to the Date element which were made since the last cpan
release.

I plan to add an option to limit the minute menu, so for example, it
will only list every 5 minutes (00,05,10,etc) - but haven't gotten
around to that yet.
