  typedef date_type::day_of_week_type                day_of_week_type;  
  typedef date_type::month_type                      month_type;

  typedef date_time::last_kday_of_month< date_type > start_rule_functor;
  typedef date_time::last_kday_of_month< date_type > end_rule_functor;  

  // public static functions
  static day_of_week_type start_day(year_type) ;
  static month_type start_month(year_type) ;
  static day_of_week_type end_day(year_type) ;
  static month_type end_month(year_type) ;
  static int dst_start_offset_minutes() ;
  static int dst_end_offset_minutes() ;
