Description:
------------
On pages that use QuickForm date field type and PHP 5.0.2
it produces a warning as follows:

Warning: strtotime() [function.strtotime]: Called with an
empty time parameter.
in /usr/share/pear/HTML/QuickForm/date.php on line 385

a simple fix is add the following two lines prior to the
strtotime call (on line 385).

if ($value == NULL)
$value = "now";

effectively setting the default value to today if none is
set.

Expected result:
----------------
No warning message.

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: strtotime() [function.strtotime]: Called with an
empty time parameter.
in /usr/share/pear/HTML/QuickForm/date.php on line 387

This is the code that caused it.

$date = &$this->addElement('date', 'billing_month',
'Billing Month', array('format' => 'FY', 'minYear' =>
2004, 'maxYear' => date("Y")));
$date->setValue($billing_timestamp);

where $billing_timestamp is not set (so effectively NULL).
