[powerdot] A fix to the clock problem

I believe I have put together a fix for the clock problem discussed in
May 2007 here:

http://www.freelists.org/archives/powerdot/05-2007/msg00004.html

I have described the fix here:

As you can see, the fix involves making use of the "rotation" property
of the TextField class. Assuming that you have the MOST RECENT VERSIONS
of xcolor, oberdiek, and hyperref, you can set an empty bordercolor. All
that's left is fixing the rotation problem. You do that by setting
making rotation empty with portraits and 90 with landscapes.

I hope this is useful to someone.

I have sent this to Hendri. He has added verification and incorporation
of the patch to his todo list.
