Bug description:  Documentation for DateTime-Class should document if arbitary dates are allowed

Description:
------------
The DateTime manual page (http://de3.php.net/manual/en/class.datetime.php)
should document whether if it is possible to use arbitary dates or not -
e.g. Dates which are outside of the general Unix timestamp.

A quick test revealed that $dt = new DateTime("0010-01-01 00:01:00"); does
work, but it should be documented, and it should also be documented what
the limitations are.
