Schedule Posts Calendar Plugin

Adds a JavaScript calendar to the scheduled publish widget to allow you to select a date and time graphically instead of via the text entry boxes.

This plugin uses the gpl’d dhtmlxcalendar (http://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxCalendar/index.shtml) for the calendar control.

This code is released under the GPL v2, see license.txt for details.
