Hi!

> org-bbdb-anniversaries-future uses the following format to insert
> anniversaries into the agenda:
>
> Birthday: [[bbdb:foo bar][foo bar (37th) -- 2016-07-14]]
>
> Seeing the date in the agenda makes me feel like I have a lot of time to
> get a present. Then, just before the shops close, I realise that her
> birthday is today ;).
>
> So I introduced a function that calculates the agenda entry with respect
> to the time span between the actual event and the agenda date. This allows
> to have entries like
>
> Birthday: [[bbdb:foo bar][foo bar (37th) -- 2016-07-14]]
> Birthday: [[bbdb:foo bar][foo bar (37th) -- in 8 days]]
> Birthday: [[bbdb:foo bar][foo bar (37th) -- tomorrow]]
> Birthday: [[bbdb:foo bar][foo bar (37th) -- today]]

> The patch is attached to this posting.
