Xavier

thank you for the contribution.

In addition to Luigi's questions:

a) not all holidays have been documented in the hpp file. This can be 
easily fixed.
b) Lunar New Year, Tomb Sweeping, Dragon Boat, Mid-Autumn Festival, 
Buddha's birthday, Harvest Moon, Tuen NG Festival, Chung Yeung fest, ecc 
are provided for 2004, 2005, 2006. Is there an algorithm for calculating 
them? If the algo is not easy shouldn't we tabulate them as we do for 
Easter Monday?
c) Honk Kong calendar: you list "Day after Good Friday", but since this is 
a Saturday it shouldn't be listed as a separate holiday. Am I wrong?
