additional calendar systems can be supported via ICU in the future but
for now that will be more than enough considering other things such as
QDateTime and QCalendarWidget, the gregorian and julian calendars being
common, etc.

interestingly QLocale is not used for many things but that is about to
change, Katie uses it a lot internally (e.g. for QDateTime formatting
and such) so instead of bolting a calendar system on top of KLocale
perhaps a QLocale wrapped around in KLocale will fit the general idea
of using QLocale in widgets when necessary (as does QCalendarWidget).
that however means no way to specify a calendar system (in general,
other than changing the widgets locale itself) but the QDateTime and
related classes are tied to gregorian calendar already - the system
time itself carries no information about the calendar and any
conversions from one calendar to another are basically made up stuff
(there is the time zone thing ofcourse but that is not a calendar)
another interesting thing to note is that KLocale was written such that
it is read-write - changing the date formats for example is possible
because there are public KLocale methods for that.
