It seems like calendar(1) should be able to do this, but I'm not sure how much manual labor it would take.

Thanks,
that would do it, unless I'm looking for holidays exclusion :)

The shell is your friend. If your needs are simple, this will do:
cal |
FIELDWIDTHS=2 awk 'NR <= 2 {next}; {print $2, $3, $4, $5, $6}' |
wc -w
Just replace the arguments to print with the days of the week you care
about.

In case of my country there are at least two of them - Easter and Holy Cross. I can implement something on my own, but I'm looking for something ready.
