/**
* <code>IslamicCalendar</code> is a subclass of <code>Calendar</code>
* that implements the Islamic civil and religious calendars. It
* is used as the civil calendar in most of the Arab world and the
* liturgical calendar of the Islamic faith worldwide. This calendar
* is also known as the "Hijri" calendar, since it starts at the time
* of Mohammed's emigration (or "hijra") to Medinah on Thursday,
* July 15, 622 AD (Julian).
* <p>
* The Islamic calendar is strictly lunar, and thus an Islamic year of twelve
* lunar months does not correspond to the solar year used by most other
* calendar systems, including the Gregorian. An Islamic year is, on average,
* about 354 days long, so each successive Islamic year starts about 11 days
* earlier in the corresponding Gregorian year.
* <p>
* Each month of the calendar starts when the new moon's crescent is visible
* at sunset. However, in order to keep the time fields in this class
* synchronized with those of the other calendars and with local clock time,
* we treat days and months as beginning at midnight,
* roughly 6 hours after the corresponding sunset.
* <p>
* There are two main variants of the Islamic calendar in existence. The first
* is the <em>civil</em> calendar, which uses a fixed cycle of alternating 29-
* and 30-day months, with a leap day added to the last month of 11 out of
* every 30 years. This calendar is easily calculated and thus predictable in
* advance, so it is used as the civil calendar in a number of Arab countries.
* This is the default behavior of a newly-created <code>IslamicCalendar</code>
* object.
* <p>
* The Islamic <em>religious</em> calendar, however, is based on the <em>observation</em>
* of the crescent moon. It is thus affected by the position at which the
* observations are made, seasonal variations in the time of sunset, the
* eccentricities of the moon's orbit, and even the weather at the observation
* site. This makes it impossible to calculate in advance, and it causes the
* start of a month in the religious calendar to differ from the civil calendar
* by up to three days.
* <p>
* Using astronomical calculations for the position of the sun and moon, the
* moon's illumination, and other factors, it is possible to determine the start
* of a lunar month with a fairly high degree of certainty. However, these
* calculations are extremely complicated and thus slow, so most algorithms,
* including the one used here, are only approximations of the true astronical
* calculations. At present, the approximations used in this class are fairly
* simplistic; they will be improved in later versions of the code.
* <p>
* The {@link #setCivil setCivil} method determines
* which approach is used to determine the start of a month. By default, the
* fixed-cycle civil calendar is used. However, if <code>setCivil(false)</code>
* is called, an approximation of the true lunar calendar will be used.
