MODULE calendar
!---------------------------------------------------------------------
!- This is the calendar which going to be used to do all
!- calculations on time. Three types of calendars are possible :
!-  - gregorian : The normal calendar. The time origin for the
!-                julian day in this case is 24 Nov -4713
!-  - nolap : A 365 day year without leap years.
!-            The origin for the julian days is in this case 1 Jan 0
!-  - xxxd : Year of xxx days with month of equal length.
!-           The origin for the julian days is then also 1 Jan 0
!- As one can see it is difficult to go from one calendar to the other.
!- All operations involving julian days will be wrong.
!- This calendar will lock as soon as possible
!- the length of the year and  forbid any further modification.
!-
!- For the non leap-year calendar the method is still brute force.
!- We need to find an Integer series which takes care of the length
!- of the various month. (Jan)
!-
!-   one_day  : one day in seconds
!-   one_year : one year in days
