Re: ANN: Julian dates

In keeping with the spirit of D.R. Hipp's "blessing", and specifically for
those who use Tcl/SQLite, but hopefully not limited to those, I've
released an old (ie: well used) relatively portable C library of Julian
date routines, and a Tcl binding for it under an open source license.

It's also worth noting that the [clock] command in 8.5 can do
[clock scan $julianDay -format %J] and [clock format $time -format %J]
to convert times-since-epoch to and from Julian Day Numbers. Of course,
once you have time-since-epoch, [clock] can make it into practically
anything else.
