I believe the year 2000 is *not* a leap year. I recall vaguely they skip
a leap year every 200 years, such that it's a leap year if the number is
evenly divisible by 4 and not by 200. You may want to verify this before
casting this in code. The net result is to cause all calc's spanning
2/28/2000 to be reported incorrectly. Most specifically,
Previous_Leap_Years needs to be adjusted down one for dates beyond
2/28/2000.

Mike.
