Move the directive documentation into its own underlay, separate from basewiki, since it's sorta large compared to the rest of basewiki.

+The `calendar` directive is supplied by the [[!iki plugins/calendar]] plugin.
+This plugin requires extra setup. See the plugin documentation for details.
+
+This directive displays a calendar, similar to the typical calendars shown on
+some blogs.
+
+# examples
+
+ \[[!calendar ]]
+
+ \[[!calendar type="month" pages="blog/* and !*/Discussion"]]
+
+ \[[!calendar type="year" year="2005" pages="blog/* and !*/Discussion"]]
+
+The calendar is essentially a fancy front end to archives of previous
+pages, usually used for blogs. It can produce a calendar for a given month,
+or a list of months for a given year.
+
+The month format calendar simply links to any page posted on each
+day of the month. The year format calendar links to archive pages, with
+names like `archives/2007` (for all of 2007) and `archives/2007/01`
+(for January, 2007). For this to work, you'll need to create these archive
+pages. They typically use [[inline]] to display or list pages created in
+the given time frame.
+
+## usage
+
+* `type` - Used to specify the type of calendar wanted. Can be one of
+ "month" or "year". The default is a month view calendar.
+* `pages` - Specifies the [[ikiwiki/PageSpec]] of pages to link to from the
+ month calendar. Defaults to "*".
+* `archivebase` - Configures the base of the archives hierarchy. The
+ default is "archives". Note that this default can also be overridden
+ for the whole wiki by setting `archivebase` in ikiwiki's setup file.
+* `year` - The year for which the calendar is requested. Defaults to the
+ current year.
+* `month` - The numeric month for which the calendar is requested, in the
+ range 1..12. Used only for the month view calendar, and defaults to the
+ current month.
+* `week_start_day` - A number, in the range 0..6, which represents the day
+ of the week that the month calendar starts with. 0 is Sunday, 1 is Monday,
+ and so on. Defaults to 0, which is Sunday.
+* `months_per_row` - In the annual calendar, number of months to place in
+ each row. Defaults to 3.
