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.
FWIW, I have used boost date_time in the past, but I didn't really like
it. Particularly the part where every unit is its own type (dunno, that
may have changed, it was several years ago that I used it). If we could
try to combine these types together, I think it would be beneficial.
