Not to mention Saudi Arabia, which uses the lunar months...

But I think this another issue of its own, since SA uses Hijri not Georgian calender, do we have support for lunar based hijri calender? Good point. I'll try to find a conversion algorithm... http://www.codeproject.com/KB/datetime/hijrigregorianclass.aspx

The guy here claims to have a better algorithm than others http://ojuba.org/wiki/doku.php/hijra/, it is written completely in python. I didn't compare it with others myself, though.

i see this as reference in converter code ... Calendrical Calculations, by Nachum Dershowitz and Edward M.
