Ayman Negm (CC'ed) said he'd help - Ayman, so how 'bout it ?  We now
have a completely [L]GPL'ed version of 'hdate' and cousins (except its

Yup, do please see if you can lend a hand :-)  It would be ideal to get
both ITL-lib and ITL-itools into debian's APT at the same time.

I think I needed that to compile on a sparc; having now just recompiled

anymore).

Keep up the great work !!
