Would one of those you know about include KMyMoney 3.95svn? That has 
just started using HolidayRegion->isHoliday(date), 
HolidayRegion->isValid() and HolidayRegion::locations()

I am happy to work on the relevant changes required, if any are needed, 
to KMyMoney though.

So would that mean HolidayRegion::locations() (or the equivalent) could 
be passed an argument that means it will only return those locations 
that have holiday files of a particular type (e.g. civil)?

For religious files would they be named by faith and language only?

Does KDE offer all the necessary methods to convert the file names 
without having to have a file somewhere? I presume it knows all 
languages and countries, but does it need to be taught about 
States/Islands/etc and faiths/religions?

Any plans to add a way of selecting holiday calendars to the KDE Control 
Module (Country/Region & Language)?
