I saw a thread going on here, about the subject.

I just happen to have programmed such a thing, for a certain program. It's not
perfect, in the essence that It will produce good results only from 1970 to
2099, because I didn't feel like starting to investigate which are leap years
and which are not. All the leap years between 1970 and 2099 ARE included,
though.
