I'm happy you're happy :-)  Heck, I'm just happy to have another use for the 
calendar code...

I'll be more than happy to take over being maintainer once all the changes are 
done and approved, seems only fair that I should support what I write!

I've now ported the code to the Bison C++ skeleton, which means everything is 
now nicely wrapped in real classes and the KHolidays namespace.  An unexpected 
side-effect of this is the skeleton uses a nice separated Driver and Parser 
class model, with the driver class looking a good candidate to be abstracted 
and re-implemented for other file formats (e.g. the new xml format, iCalendar, 
etc).  It's also a lot more KDE/Qt like which should make maintaining it 
easier ;-)

Give me a week or two and I'll have something ready for proper review, and 
I'll likely run the odd idea past the list for advice in the meantime.

Cheers!

John.
