Clarify that the USSR no longer exists, but some of the holidays are
celebrated anyway.

Remove Jewish and most Muslim holidays. They're all wrong, since they
don't apply to the Western calendar. The much more complete Jewish
holidays are in calendar.judaic. The Muslim holidays need to be
collected into a file, but there's not much point in having the wrong
date.
Remove many Fiji holidays. They change every year by Government
decree, and some were duplicated as a result.
Remove some duplicates.
There's still a lot to be done; in particular, I think the Japanese
and British holidays are very inaccurate. This file needs checking by
people who know the details.
holiday on 6 August. Since this claim isn't dependent on the weekday,
I have my strong doubts about the other locations too, but I can't
confirm, so I'm leaving them in.
commonly used in the United States of America to represent a
hierarchical relationship between city and state or country
("Evacuation Day in Suffolk County, Massachusetts"), but it was also
being abused to enumerate unrelated places ("Independence Day in
Albania, Mauritania").
Remove the list of countries observing All Souls' Day. This is a
widely observed holiday, and the list only included South American
contries.
There's more to do here; the list is rather patchy.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
E.g. for Easter, and entries like "04/SunFirst" calendar will
now report:
04/05* Good Friday (2 days before easter)
04/07* First Sunday...
instead of:
Easter-2 Good Friday...
04/SunFirst First Sunday...
I also modified the calendar files to use the variable day format
for a lot of events so that they will be reported correctly.
E.g. U.S. daylight savings time is now listed as:
04/SunFirst Daylight savings time...
There are still a lot of wrong dates in there for some events
that move from year to year, but I don't have a good calendar handy
right now that I can use for reference.
