Summary: More Calendar problems on all Libors

Initial Comment:
After looking for a proper definition of how the Libor
fixing works, 
I have finally found an authoritative source:
http://www.bba.org.uk/bba/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=225&a=1412

It seems that any calendar we pick will be wrong. 
Their method for determining the value date from the
fixing date is quite different from anything I've seen.
It's a strange combination of two calendars that is
explained fully in the above mentioned page. 

Picking the London calendar for ALL the libors will be
a very good first-order approximation that will make
all the libor classes much more accurate. 

Eventually a fix is needed to have an
"OddlyJoinedCalendar" or something like that :-)

I would fix it myself, but I will have to do it outside
of work because of my emplyment agreement, so it will
be a bit delayed. If anyone with access to CVS wants to
at least do a quick fix to move to London Calendar that
would be a great first step
