Due to the way 'WeblogEntry.publish' is defined, the publication date set by the 'pubdate' argument to 'Weblog.addEntry' is always lost. This is because the pubdate argument of 'WeblogEntry.publish' defaults to the current date.

Steps to reproduce:: >>> entry = self.weblog.addEntry(title="Issue #189", id="issue189",
... excerpt="None", text="None")
>>> entry.setPublicationDate( DateTime("2009-04-28T16:48:00") )
>>> entry.publish()
>>> entry.getPublicationDate()
DateTime('2009/04/28 16:48:00 GMT+0')
