Module Calendar.Islamic

Description

This is the islamic calendar. Due to some sources, they decide the first day of the new months on a month-to-month basis (sightings of the new moon), so it's probably not that accurate. If someone can confirm (or deny) accuracy better than that, please contact me so I can change this statement.

It's vaugely based on rules presented in algorithms by Dershowitz, Reingold and Clamen, 'Calendrical Calculations'. It is the same that's used in Emacs calendar mode.

Bugs

I have currently no idea how the arabic countries count the week. Follow the same rules as ISO for now... The time is also suspicious; the day really starts at sunset and not midnight, the hours of the day is not correct. Also don't know what to call years before 1 - go for "BH"; positive years are "AH", anno Hegirac.
