[development] Easter problem

[larry at garfieldtech.com]

There's no need for a hook here at all.  You can either code in the 
algorithm for defining when Easter is (which sounds like it is in fact 
rather complicated) or just pre-store know pre-calculated dates for it 
for the next decade or so.  (10 records, one per year; totally easy.)

Both options are described here, including the different mechanisms for 
defining when Easter is in different calendars:
