ccal for Debian
----------------------

 Note that even though it is originally named cal, in Debian
 it's 'ccal' in order to avoid conflicting with bsdmaintuils
 package.

 There was once a package named color-cal in Debian that provided
 this program but I have been unable to find it (maitained, my
 dpkg --status at home tells me, by Patrick J. Edwards <pje120@mail.usask.ca>)

 Since I really like this piece of software, and helps me avoid
 public embarassment when I forget birthdays I have been looking
 quite a lot until I traced it to the sources again.

 However, there is still work to be done to put this software up-to-date.
 It is not yet fully internationalised, and will only print the days/months
 in english. The only localisation that has been done is the use of 
 locale to setup the start week day. Help in this area would be appreciated.
 
 Note: This package provide an alternative to the 'cal' program
 (it's provided by ncal in bsdutils) but since it's not fully compatible
 with it I do not intent to make it possible to be handled through 
 /etc/alternatives (yet)
