[kronolith] Holidays

[Brandon Knitter]

Hahahaha...fair enough.

I could not find an occurrence type for a yearly event on Thursday for the 3rd
full week of November...I think that's the Thanksgiving calc.

I guess I'm not as concerned abouting how to add them, but more of a feature to
add and remove them...I know that separate locales have separate holidays.

And example of what I'm talking about is Yahoo calendar.  I don't use it a whole
lot, but I told it I wanted to add all Holidays, I picked a continent and a
Country.  Perhaps a choice of religions would be neat too.  In any case, Yahoo
let's you add and remove them.  I think simply tying these to a keyword would be
sufficient in a first pass at it.

I looked around, and emacs has a nice list of holidays to choose from.  It's
limited though.  Is there some net resource that has a list of holidays per a
locale?  I see that Yahoo has a list tied to their calendars, where did they get
this from?  There has *got* to be a resource out there, I'm jut having a hard
time finding one.

Thanks for all the feedback.
