After having a look at both GregorianDate and Julien's calendar interface,
my opinion is that a simplified Julien's calendar version would suit better
ExtLib. Simplified would mean having at most 2 modules : Date and Time, if
we keep separated, or only one module Date storing both day and time.
This/theses two modules should include most of basic operations, and some
advanced ones that are difficult to implement. Modules should be as "flat"
as possible (no sub module Period or functor usage needed).
Since the current sources are around 60 K (with some code duplication in
calendar) I think it's not a difficult task. Everybody on this list can
contribute thoughts and comments on what should/shouldn't be in the final
interface.
