GregorianCalendar (and maybe Calendar) needs constructors: GregorianCalendar
(long) and GregorianCalendar(Date). The present constructors initialize ALL
fields with current time, which is a fairly expensive operation and unnecessary
if on is not intereste in the current time. Even (int, int, int) constructors
first initialize using the current time, which is a total waste since fields
are overwritten immediately.
