Mike.

It's not part of the "standard" set of API calls, but GLib (a library
used by many desktop applications and GTK+ itself for portability and
handling of various data structures) contains a function called
g_date_is_leap_year [1] that may help you in this.

Also, if you're using C++ instead, there is the official GLib C++
wrappers (GLibmm), the Glib::Date::is_leap_year member function will do
the same. Thirdly, Boost has a date_time library whose gregorian type
contains an "is_leap_year" function which also acts similarly.

Hope that helps.
