I updated this today, including time functions in addition to the date
functions and generally "filling in the corners". I also included an
interval calculation function for e.g., threading.Timer. Finally, I
wrapped the bare generator functions in a Recurrence class. I'm now
using it for my object server, and it seems to be working well.

Again, any feedback appreciated, especially from Skip M. (who's worked
on this problem before, it seems ;).
