Dear sir, 
Thanks for your interest.
Actually, we at Arabeyes.org are currently having a
discussion about a whole library of Islamic tools
including the dates as you mentioned.
If you're really interested, here's the main topic of
our discussion:
http://lists.arabeyes.org/archives/general/2003/October/msg00224.html
and the project home page:
http://www.arabeyes.org/project.php?proj=ITL

So, maybe when this is complete, we can persue
including it with OOo.

regards,
Ossama Khayat
