SunUpDown 1.12

Requires NOS 2.0.

(*) = new in version 1.1
(Version 1.12 only fixes an installation problem compared to version 1.1. During 
install error 48402/48404 appeared).
(Version 1.13 fixes a small bug: when starting SunUpDown, waiting till is calculated 
all special dates, then quitting, then starting it again, it would not start calculating
the special dates again).

SunUpDown calculates for a choosen city:
- the sun rise for a specific day
- sun set for a specific day
- longest day in a year
- shortest day in a year
- earliest sun rise and sunset in a year (*)
- latest sun rise and sun set in a year (*)
- start and end date of daylight saving time (*)
   The DST info is in the newton, but is seems to be incorrect for 
   some countries (for example: for the Netherlands where I live it is wrong).

Cities are picked from the Cities soup.
On idle time it determines the year values (if selected in the prefs). 
Use the chart checkbox to draw a chart. The required data for this 
chart is also calculated on idle. So you can see it getting better and
better.

In the preferencens (*) you can set:
- if daylight savings time should be taken into account (if applicable)
- if the year values should be calculated on idle (year value calculation
   is always done when the package in in chart mode and when the 
   special dates window is open).

Bug Fixes in 1.1
- error -48404. This was a problem caused by the "locale" prefs. Thanks a 
   couple guys on internet I could solve it (they localized it).
- For Angmasselik (Greenland) it gave negative length for the longest day. Not
   anymore now.

Other enhacements:
- Added an Icon to the package
- Display the sun rise and set on startup (also recalculates these values when
   a new city is choosen, when the prefs DST checkbox is (un)checked.
- An "I" button is added to the main window
- A "Special Dates" window is added for all year values ("I" button);
- Year values between brackets "()" are not fuly optimized yet.
