#D-This ksh library handles date calculs and convertions in different calendars.
#D-  types of calendars are possible :
#D-
#D-  - leap|gregorian|standard (other name leap) :
#D-      The normal calendar. The time origin for the
#D-      julian day in this case is 24 Nov -4713.
#D-  - noleap|365_day :
#D-      A 365 day year without leap years.
#D-  - all_leap|366_day :
#D-      A 366 day year with only leap years.
#D-  - 360d|360_day :
#D-      Year of 360 days with month of equal length.
