Here is again. Both version, using some function, no 1970-01-01 limit and ksh93 builtin printf, which has 1970-01-01 limit.
Code:
#!/usr/sh
#datecalc
#bash, ksh, ...

Date2Jul()
{
        oifs="$IFS"
        IFS="-"
        array=($1) # date component to the array
        IFS="$oifs"
        dd=${array[2]}
        mm=${array[1]}
        yyyy=${array[0]}
        ((a= (14-mm)/12 ))
        ((y= yyyy+4800 - a ))
        ((m= mm + 12*a -3 ))
        ((jd= dd + (153*m+2)/5 + 365*y + y/4 - 32083 ))
        echo $jd
}

        (( Xc=Xjd+32082))
        (( Xd= (4*Xc+3)/1461 ))
        (( Xe= Xc-((1461*Xd)/4)  ))
        (( Xm= (5*Xe+2)/153 ))
        (( Xday= Xe - (153*Xm+2)/5 + 1 ))
        (( Xmonth= Xm + 3 - 12*(Xm/10) ))
        (( Xyear= 100*Xb + Xd - 4800 + Xm/10 ))
        Xdstr="$Xday"
        Xmstr="$Xmonth"
        [ "$Xday" -lt 10 ] && Xdstr="0$Xdstr"
        [ "$Xmonth" -lt 10 ] && Xmstr="0$Xmstr"
        Xjulstr="$Xyear$Xmstr$Xdstr"


        ((Xa= (14-Xmonth)/12 ))
        ((Xy= Xyear - Xa ))
        ((Xm= Xmonth + 12*Xa - 2 ))
        ((Xweekday=  (6 + Xday + Xy + Xy/4 + (31*Xm)/12 ) % 7  ))
        ((Xday<10)) && Xday="0$Xday"
        ((Xmonth<10)) && Xmonth="0$Xmonth"
        echo "$Xjd $Xdstr $Xmstr $Xyear $Xweekday $Xjulstr"
}
###################### MAIN ##################################################
# using almost any days using Date2Jul and Julian2Date, also times before 1.1.1970
# yyyy-mm-dd
[ $# -lt 1 ] && echo "usage:$0 yyyy-dd-mm" >&2  && exit 1

datestr="$1"

julian=$(Date2Jul "$datestr")
Julian2Date "$julian" | read julian2 d m y dayOfWeek yyyymmdd

Or ksh93 printf version with 1970-01-01 limit.
Code:
# http://www2.research.att.com/~gsf/cgi-bin/download.cgi?action=list&name=ksh
# sec since 1970-01-01

[ $# -lt 1 ] && echo "usage:$0 yyyy-dd-mm" >&2  && exit 1

datestr="$1"

# some ex. how to convert date string to the epoc
epoc=$(printf "%(%s)T" now)
epoc=$(printf "%(%s)T" "2010-10-24")
epoc=$(printf "%(%s)T" "2010-10-24 00:00:00")
epoc=$(printf "%(%s)T" "10/24/2010 00:00:00")
epoc=$(printf "%(%s)T" "$datestr" )
echo "sec since 1970-01-01 00:00 UTC: $epoc"
# one day is 86400 sec = (60*60*24)
((day=60*60*24))

# now you can calculate and after that convert back to date string
((yesterday=epoc-day))
printf "%(%Y-%m-%d)T" "#$yesterday"
echo ""

ECHO(1) 						    BSD General Commands Manual 						   ECHO(1)

NAME
echo -- write arguments to the standard output SYNOPSIS
echo [-n] [string ...] DESCRIPTION
The echo utility writes any specified operands, separated by single blank (' ') characters and followed by a newline (' ') character, to the standard output. The following option is available: -n Do not print the trailing newline character. This may also be achieved by appending 'c' to the end of the string, as is done by iBCS2 compatible systems. Note that this option as well as the effect of 'c' are implementation-defined in IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'') as amended by Cor. 1-2002. Applications aiming for maximum portability are strongly encouraged to use printf(1) to sup- press the newline character. Some shells may provide a builtin echo command which is similar or identical to this utility. Most notably, the builtin echo in sh(1) does not accept the -n option. Consult the builtin(1) manual page. EXIT STATUS
The echo utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. SEE ALSO
builtin(1), csh(1), printf(1), sh(1) STANDARDS
The echo utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'') as amended by Cor. 1-2002. BSD
