Sure, but you only have to do this because of the inadequacy
of Ada.Calendat, not because it is funadanmentally bad practice
to use the standard Ada libraries (that is how I interpreted
what "Tarjei Tj�stheim Jensen" wrote - in restrospect, I realise
he meant that is was incorrect to use Ada.Calendar in this context
because Ada.Calendar was incapable of doing the job at hand).
