I've read the ruby docs and both Date and Time sound really good. For 
instance, I especially liked this bit:

"The Date class allows you to determine whether to implement the cutover (to 
the Gregorian calendar) in 1582 (the Date::ITALY option), 1752 
(Date::ENGLAND), or another date of your choosing.". 

Absolutely essential that :)

The Ruby Time class is based on the number of days since 1970, so it is a thin 
wrapper to the Unix date -  the same as QTime.

On the other hand there's no equivalent to QDateTime, so that would have to 
stay as it is, which might be a bit ugly.
