I have written a little date engine and it calls the system only once,
to get the computer date (today's date)

I used to call the system to get the day number in a week, but since I had
problem generating html code and using my date engine, I re-wrote that
in order to compute it using modulo calls agains first day my date
engine can store (sorry, this is probably not very clear)

anyway, it is much much better not to fork and of course that problem
pushed me to get my code cleaner and faster ...
