The calendar crank-back isn't completely crazy.

The 1972 calendar is exactly the same as the 2000 calendar.

Thus, to do any date math, subtract 28 years from both dates, do the math,
and you get the same (correct) result as if had used the current date.

You don't need to changes dates in the database and dates still print
appropriately.

I'm not advocating this method, but merely suggesting it's completely out of
the question for a short (say, 20 years or so!) quick and dirty fix.
