std.gregorian

[Andrei Alexandrescu]

I just committed a first draft of std.gregorian. The design and the code 
are copied from Jeff Garland's Boost date and time library. Once we get 
the library in shape and I discuss the matter with Jeff, I'll insert the 
proper attributions in the file.

For the record I am stating that I have never looked at the Tango design 
or implementation of dates and times or in general.

There's plenty more to do. It would be great if others could continue 
this work, to which I can't dedicate much more time. Until the ongoing 
issue finds a solution, only people who have not looked at Tango date 
and time should work on std.gregorian.
