in what way do you think it is not perfect for your purposes or needs?

FWIW: i copied the jedi datediff you posted and placed it in my testing project 
to compare my output with it... the results are exactly the same...

but i still wonder if the last day of a month to the last day of another month 
should be counted as a full month...

eg:
   CalendarDateDiff: 2012-01-31 to 2012-02-29 =    0 yrs    0 mos   29 days
   JediDateDiff:     2012-01-31 to 2012-02-29 =    0 yrs    0 mos   29 days

should this actually be

   2012-01-31 to 2012-02-29 =    0 yrs    1 mos   0 days
