Subject: Parsing Islamic date

Hello all,

Is it possible to parse an Islamic date in Ruby by any means? I have
found nothing but this:

(from date.rb):

... Alternative calendars such as the Chinese Lunar Calendar, the
Islamic Calendar, or the French Revolutionary Calendar are not supported
by the Date class; ...

but no hint for the solution.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Peter
