Good point. I'll try to find a conversion algorithm...

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.
Well, since we're not using it for long-term historical ranges -- and we'll need to be able to advance/reverse it a couple of days no matter the algorithm, then I say let's go with whatever is easiest for hans to read ;-) Could you evaluate a couple and make a recommendation?
