It's actually pretty simple, and hardly unique to KOB.  It comes from
WikiCalendar, and, I think PmCalendar.

Since entries are in YYYYMMDD format, it's very easy to construct a
month.  For December, start your counter at 20051201, and count up,
creating a new link for each day.  PmWiki takes care of whether the
link exists or not.

Since PageList is apparently date-aware, I see no reason why this idea
couldn't be applied throughout the wiki.  I hadn't thought about
RecentChanges -- that sounds interesting!
