CSWeekView classes available

A little while ago I posted a query here asking if anybody knew of a Cocoa class to create a weekly calendar, somewhat like the iCal week view. Although there were a couple of promising replies, I decided to roll my own, "CSWeekView". I've released it on GitHub under the LGPL. For my program'
