Subject: [ANN] Ruby Month 0.1.0

 From out of murky depths of the Lafcadio codebase, I bring you a tiny 
utility library called Ruby Month. It's a modest thing, intended to 
make month-level manipulations easier.

http://rubyforge.org/projects/month

For example:

require 'month'
jun2005 = Month.new( 2005, 6 )
jun2005.to_s                             # => "Jun 2005"
jun2005.start_date.to_s                  # => "2005-06-01"
jun2005.end_date.to_s                    # => "2005-06-30"

jul2005 = jun2005.next
jul2005.to_s                             # => "Jul 2005"
may2005 = jun2005.prev
may2005.to_s                             # => "May 2005"

to_sort = [ jul2005, may2005, jun2005 ]
to_sort.join ', '                        # => "Jul 2005, May 2005, Jun 
2005"
to_sort.sort!
to_sort.join ', '                        # => "May 2005, Jun 2005, Jul 
2005"

Hope you find it useful!
