  Public domain will be OK, or BSD if you like.


Note that easter.c is buggy; it gets the date of Easter wrong by one week
for 1998 and 2001 at least.  easter.c.orig contains Oliver's original.
easter.c contains my hacked-around version.


To get a date for Easter out of gcal, use
  gcal -u -n --christian-holidays 2000 | grep 'Easter Sunday'
