Feature Request: Add a way to set Saturday or Sunday as working days

Hi: This request comes from a Debian user in our bug tracking system and I'm forwarding the report upstream for your perusal. "There doesn't seem to be any way to make Saturday and/or Sunday into a work day. It'd be nice if the workdays were customizable; not everyone's work week is Monday–Friday." For the original report, see: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=494736 Cheers, Jonathan

Hi Jonathan, thanks for writing me! :-) Short answer: subclass Year.pm and override the "init" method. Caveat: How to make Calendar.pm call the subclass instead of Year.pm Long answer: I'll think about this problem!
