GDTL/Feature List

It looks like this project is going to be broken into phases to keep things manageable. No schedule is listed because we all have real jobs, but this can serve as a laundry list to help us prioritize features and make sure we don't forget anything.

--I reorganized a bit and made some addtions and more annotations about things. --jeff

Phase 1 is now complete -- initial library is in Boost 1.29.0
Future Phases
- Timepoints
  - TAI time
  - Civil time (with leap seconds adjustments -- full timezone support)
- Fancier clock(s)
  - High precision clock - subsecond resolution clock (possibly non-portable)
  - A network clock that reads NIST timesource would be way cool :-)
- String parsing and formmatting
  - Better input operators
  - I/O manipulators for date order and such
- Special calculations (business days -- example)
- Documentation
  - Additional tutorial writeup
  - Library extension guide
  - Rationale document
- Repeating timepoints / intervals
- Date Systems
  - Julian Calendar
  - Other Calendars
- Portable CORBA-compliant serialization
