The last day of the Julian calendar was 4 October 1582, followed by the first 
Gregorian calendar day: 15 October 1582.  This is the change date for the 
Roman Catholic countries, and doesn't works in cal:

$ cal 10 1582
    octubre 1582
dl dt dc dj dv ds dg
 1  2  3  4  5  6  7
 8  9 10 11 12 13 14
15 16 17 18 19 20 21
22 23 24 25 26 27 28
29 30 31

September 1752 whas the adoption date outside of Roman Catholic countries. This 
works fine in cal:

$ cal 9 1752
   setembre 1752
dl dt dc dj dv ds dg
    1  2 14 15 16 17
18 19 20 21 22 23 24
25 26 27 28 29 30

Maybe cal can read the system locale in order to determine each country 
religion in 1582 and 1752.
