Hi Henrik,
Like Australia, Switzerland is also a mess regarding this topic. Each canton has authority for fixing these holidays. The only one missing common that I can see is:

One of the new things in Hobbit 4.3 is that it can handle alerts happening on holidays. These will also show up on the "info" column page.
To make this easy, I need some information about the holidays in each country.
I already have code to handle the Christian holidays (Easter, Whit Monday, Christmas) - e.g. these are the holidays I have listed in my "common" section for 2008:
New Year 01/01 Good Friday 21/03 Easter Monday 24/03 Ascension Day 01/05 Whit Monday 12/05 Christmas Eve 24/12 Christmas Day 25/12 New Year's Eve 31/12I also have specific entries for the US, Germany and Denmark - see http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit-cgi/viewconf.sh?holidays for the current configuration.
So if you're from France, Italy, Australia, Japan or some other country and you would like to have Hobbit pre-loaded with your national holidays, send me a list of which days are holidays. If you can do it in the form of the configuration file it would be brilliant, but if not then just describe to me what days should be included.
(Please post them to the list - and DONT send it if it has already been posted by someone else, thanks!)
Regards, Henrik
