Date_Time library question...

Hello everyone,

I was wondering, while looking at the source files, why the 
date_iterator doesn't provide an operator--() ???

I've added this in the "date_iterator.hpp" file :

//---------------------------------------------------------
    date_itr_base& operator--()
    {
      current_ = current_ - get_offset(current_);
      return *this;
    }
//---------------------------------------------------------

I've rebuilt the library and done this little test :

//---------------------------------------------------------
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/date_time/gregorian/gregorian.hpp>

int main(void)
{
   using namespace boost::gregorian;

   date today = day_clock::local_day();
   day_iterator ditr(today, 1);
   int nbDaysToIterate = 360;

   for (;nbDaysToIterate != 0; --ditr, --nbDaysToIterate)
   {
      std::cout << to_iso_extended_string(*ditr) << std::endl;
   }
}
//---------------------------------------------------------

Everything seems to run OK. I've checked the february month and it has a 
28th... Now I wonder why wasn't it included in the release ???

Cheers.
