So I ported the original patch mentioned to the latest Debian version.  Well at least the bits that matter to me.  See below.  

In doing so I realized that it does quite work how I imagined it would; instead of generating a dynamic page for a particular day with a list of links it actually fills in the calendar with the details of the posts (making for some ugly formatting).

I'm hoping the tag generation pages will give me a clue how to alter this into what I want.
