Nando,
	with this change, one need to link the binary Boost.Date library with
QuantLib (whereas before this, the library only needed the Boost
headers.)

I might be fine with this if we used Boost.Date to implement most of our
Date class, but I wouldn't introduce the dependency just for checking
leap years beyond 2200...
