I was kinda joking when I mentioned it, but it certainly is do-able.

But how would it work?

date('e') would return the unix timestamp for midnight on Easter in 
the current year, and date('e',$timestamp) would return the timestamp 
for easter in the year of $timestamp?  So:

date('e') 				--> 923202000
date('d-M-Y',date('e'))		--> 04-Apr-1999

Sound good?  Shall I start coding?
