Sure there needs to be coherency, but Eddy's class can be very useful
especially now ROOT is also increasingly used in business environments.
Maybe instead of TSDdate it could be called TBusinessDate or something
like it. Also there should be a ctor that accepts a TDatime and a
TDatime convertor. Any input welcome.
Cheers, Fons.
