Setting the key expiration date AND time

Description

Hi there!
I'm using GPG-Tools (latest version of course) under OS X.

If i change a keys expiration time you can choose one of the given values, give
it in YYYY-MM-DD or (what i want to do) in consideration of UTC in this format:
yyyymmddThhmmss to set the exact time in hours minutes and seconds.

But it seems gnupg does not set correctly set the minutes and seconds. There is
always a difference between a few minutes or seconds!

Please take a look at the attachement!

OpenPGP stores the expiration time as seconds after key creation. Now we
commonly have 2 keys (primary key and encryption subkey) and it is useful
toset the creation time to the same. Unfortunately the used time stamp is taken
right before the expiration time prompt is show and thus the actual value
depends on how long it takes to enter the string.

I can change that for 2.1.
