Description:
------------
If the timezone is set to another value than the system timezone, easter_date() will return a timestamp with respect to the systems local time, not with respect to the set timezone. 
That leads to wrong results of date/time function, e.g. date() which handle the (default) timestamp that is set my php (ini_set('date.timezone', 'UTC') or date_default_timezone_set() ).

The problem occurs, if the timezone set by php is "east" of the system's timezone, if e.g. php timezone is 'UTC' and systems timezone is 'Europe/Berlin'

Reproduce code:
---------------
/ext/calendar/tests/easter_date.phpt


Expected result:
----------------
the test

/ext/calendar/tests/easter_date.phpt

should pass.

Actual result:
--------------
the test

/ext/calendar/tests/easter_date.phpt

will fail.

Basically we need to rewrite ext/calendar from scratch (to use ext/date types and utilities) and probably merge it into ext/date.
Volunteers are welcome.

I modified some of the testfiles from the former archives, because of wrong test results. It happens that easter date and DST shift occur on the same day. If so, date('Y-m-d H:i:s', easter_date($year)) will return a time portion of 01:00:00 and not 00:00:00

Naaah, calling mktime() with call_user_function() is just a hack, not a solution.
I've said we probably need to rewrite it from scratch and merge it into ext/date to use ext/date _internal_ functions directly, not through the user API.

But it saves a lot of time and work. - I've feared that it may not convince you.:)

I have add a Patch, to consider TimeZone.
But Maybe Move ext/Calendar into ext/date will be more ogical...
