This code is incomplete, and will be wrong once every 400 years.
The code in the original K&R C book shows how it should be done.
Basically if the year is divisible by 4 its a leap year UNLESS the date
is divisible by 400 without a remainder, then it is not a leap year.
2000 was not a leap year. 2400 will not be a leap year. The C manual
uses the mod(year,4) or mod(year,400) to determine this IIRC.
