I ended up rolling my own (and converting to SRFI-19 date
once validation says "OK").

Is there interest in such a thing? i.e.

 valid-date? (y m d) -> bool
 returns whether (y m d) is a valid Gregorian date.

I wouldn't mind putting it up somewhere, with a suitable
license.  OTOH, it's a whopping 36 lines or so, so perhaps
not worth it ;-D
