 After studying several DayOfWeeks i got sick.
 None of them worked really correctly and most
 had over 15 DIV'/MOD's or * in it.
 The Zeller's congruence was the best but the
 routine also contains some range errors. Years
 are only valid from 1..6300 and its really slow,
 so i wrote my own..


 About the routines..
 routine results valid if year in 0..65536
 month in 1..12, and day in 1..28/29/30/31
 there is absolute no range checking..
