	In "libpconn/dlp_cmd.c", there's an XXX comment that says that
as of PalmOS 3.0, you can update the creation and/or modification time
on a file when you close it, and suggests changing DlpCloseDB to
	int DlpCloseDB(PConnection *pconn,
		ubyte handle,
		ubyte flags)

	"include/pconn/dlp_cmd.h" already includes definitions for
		DLPCMD_CLOSEFL_UPBACKUP
		DLPCMD_CLOSEFL_UPMOD
presumably in anticipation of the change to DlpCloseDB.

	Obviously, each DlpCloseDB call would need to be examined,
because you don't want to update the creation time unless you've
created the database.
