description:
Begin major reworking of calendar.history.  Goals are:

  * every day of the year should have at least one entry
  * all entries should have been fact-checked against reliable sources,
    particularly for dates
  * calendar should contain a fair balance of world history -- existing
    calendar, being based on that shipped in 4.2BSD, was very northern
    california-centric.

This commit meets these guidelines through March 13.  I will continue to
update this as time permits.
