Thanks for figuring that out.  I noticed this awhile back and it was
less than obvious to me what was happening.  I've checked in a fix for
the Jamfile.  I also changed the name of the library to remove the
redundant 'lib' in the name.  And I have checked in changes to
explicitly construct an std::string for greg_weekday and others.
Hopefully this will resolve the Kylix problems.

Thanks,

Jeff
