I've been changing the KDateTime code to cater for the extended range, but I 
have noticed that QDate doesn't flag dates < -4712 as invalid, despite the 
statement in the comments that -4712 is the minimum year value. I suspect 
that QDate may be capable of representing dates before that year (with 
negative Julian day numbers), but clarification is needed, and either the 
comment or the validation code in QDate needs to be changed.
