No problem, Steffen.

I was looking into postfix sourcecode yesterday, for something else,
and there's an elegant (and portable) solution right in mail_date.c
(https://github.com/vdukhovni/postfix/blob/master/postfix/src/global/mail_date.c).

For the record, I read somewhere on the icann mailing list archive that
Morocco has the same problem (negative adjustments) re. Ramadan.
