Is this right?  At the moment, if I ask for Monday in the 52nd week of 2008,
I get the 5th of January 2009:

>>> time.strptime("2008 52 1", "%Y %U %w")
(2009, 1, 5, 0, 0, 0, 0, 371, -1)

For reference, Monday in the previous week is the 22nd of December:

>>> time.strptime("2008 51 1", "%Y %U %w")
(2008, 12, 22, 0, 0, 0, 0, 357, -1)

Wouldn't December 29 2008 be the right answer? This is the result without
that if:

>>> time.strptime("2008 52 1", "%Y %U %w")
(2008, 12, 29, 0, 0, 0, 0, 364, -1)

This is with WinXP SP1.
