@Micha - If you look closer at popwincal & the differences, I think
it's a bit more complicated than that. I agree with Graeme - the thing
I like best about popwincal is the simpler/slicker header area, mainly
the fact that popwincal fits the important date controls onto one,
clean thin control area. Granted some changes like the colors, images
for next/prev & removing the calendar borders is easy via CSS like you
mentioned, and a few of the the other differences like 3-letter day
abbreviations can be accomplished through Datepicker config options.

However Popwincal does not use select boxes for the month & year
dropdowns which would make styling those items a lot more flexible.
Also the way the Datepicker html is coded, there's a container div
wrapped around the month/year section that also includes the calendar
table, which makes it nearly impossible to cleanly arrange the prev/
next controls in the same horizontal area as the month/year control,
like popwincal has.

Some feature requests & other comments:
- a few config options for the positioning behavior would be great, to
control: 1) where the calendar flys out (i.e. to the side of the
trigger element rather than below) & 2) enable/disable the auto-
reposition based on available screen area.

- a config option to turn off the day-of-the-week links. Neat feature
but it seems to me like a lot of users would click on a day header by
accident & find the reorganized calendar confusing.

Thanks for the plugin, awesome job.
