Negative dates are problematic as Year 0 officially does not exist. the 
first day of Year 1 is directly preceded by the last day of year 1 BC.

Many years ago I wrote a set of date handling functions for Jedi. Those 
became obsolete when a newer Delphi VCL version included a much improved 
set of date function. Maybe some of my old stuff (e.g. handling of 
negative dates) might still be of some interest.
