Andre,
        I think you can handle this by inheriting from FloatingCoupon  
(or ParCoupon, or IndexedCoupon if you can reuse code from those) and  
overriding the virtual fixingDate() method. The downside is that you'll  
have to clone your own function for generating a vector of your  
coupons---we'll have to try and see if we can generalize that  
somehow...

Later,
