Description:
------------
Whenever you have a date field, which is not required in a
form, I did not find a way to handle this.
So the solution can be to extend HTML_QuickForm_Date and
override _createOptionList.
I send the patched version of this method. What do you think
about it ?

Test script:
---------------
function _createOptionList($start, $end, $step = 1)
{
$options = array();
if($start>0) {
$nbdash = strlen(sprintf('%02d', $end));
$options[''] = str_repeat('-',$nbdash);
}
for ($i = $start; $start > $end? $i >= $end: $i <= $end; $i += $step) {
$options[$i] = sprintf('%02d', $i);
}
return $options;
}
