1) Tax day is the 17th this year because the 15th falls on a Sunday.  I
put the following three lines in holidays.xml.

    <date name=3D"Income Taxes due" value=3D"*/4/15" type=3D"national" if=
=3D"date.weekday().__cmp__(4)-1" />
    <date name=3D"Income Taxes due" value=3D"*/4/16" type=3D"national" if=
=3D"date.weekday() =3D=3D 0" />
    <date name=3D"Income Taxes due" value=3D"*/4/17" type=3D"national" if=
=3D"date.weekday() =3D=3D 0" />

Works for the years that I tested

2) For Easter, there is a generic, though complicated, equation at the
Naval Observatory: http://aa.usno.navy.mil/faq/docs/easter.html
