#124 Enter calendar dates (or "now") in star selector
Aaron suggested that it would good for the star selector dialog to:
o have a checkbox to allow all obs to be loaded for the star
o be able to enter calendar dates instead of Julian Days
I certainly intended to do the latter at some point, but I agree that both are good ideas.
To do calendar date choosing nicely (which of course we want to do), we should use this:

Added an "all data" checkbox to the star selection dialog so min/max JD doesn't have to be supplied if all data is required. Also fixed bug in which the star field was not being cleared when a 10-star item was selected.
See http://vstar.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/vstar?view=rev&revision=405
Optimised the case where all-data is specified by using a different query with no JD range clause.

Merged the related parts of tracker #2917616 into this one:

- We should permit entry of non-JD date expressions, e.g. mm/dd/yyyy
- Preferences should also permit non-US format, e.g. dd/mm/yyyy
- Alternatively, a different widget in the dialog permits choice from a
calendar. (SB comment - this part doesn't seem necessary to me)
- Or even via a "Now" button adjacent to the text field?

Note that with VeLa, today() can be entered as proxy for the current JD.
