[freeside-users] modifying date range printed on invoices

[Peter Bowen]

LOL - it was on the list...

I believe that the initial submission was correct, but someone had to
twiddle with it...  Although I could ber wrong.

I seem to remember that someone wanted to use a date library, but somebody
else didn't like using the date library - but after three years, I'm a bit
fuzzy. :P  

Calc remain really should just calculate the remaining time in seconds and
multiply that by the cost/second...

(period end - current) * ((period price)/(period end - period start))

Simple. ;)
