[Dateinput] Year Selector should be based on today, not current value of control

Suggest this code

                // year selector
                var base = new Date();
                yearSelector.empty();                   
                for (var i = base.getFullYear() + conf.yearRange[0];  i <= base.getFullYear() + conf.yearRange[1]; i++) {
                    if (min < new Date(i + 1, -1, 0) && max > new Date(i, 0, 0)) {
                        yearSelector.append($("<option/>").text(i));
                    }
                }

hmm. cannot really decide on which one is better. can you explain to me why present year is better than the selected year to motivate me.

Yes .. imaging that you have a yearRange such as [-100,0] for choosing birth dates. I select my birth date (19xx) and that become the new reference ? Now the next time the popup is displayed, the range is 19xx-100 to 19xx-0 instead on the original 2010-100 to 2010-0. If you had accidentally chosen a to-early year, there is no way to correct your entry because the yearRange is preventing later years from being chosen.

yearRange based on now makes some sense. So would a yearRange with real dates. And using min/max instead of yearRange wold also work,
