Year drop down using <select>

I’d really love to have an option to show the year drop down as a traditional <select> instead of the control that is there now. I’m willing to implement and create a pull request. I wanted to check first with the author and collaborators.

• Is this an acceptable feature?
• If so, what would you like the API to be?

The one situation that I don’t know how to handle is the one where there is not a limit on both the upper and lower bounds of the date picker year. How would the group like to handle this?

Just taking a stab in the dark here at an api:

<DatePicker
    selected={this.state.startDate}
    onChange={this.handleChange} 
    showYearDropdown 
    yearDropdownType="select"
    dateFormatCalendar="MMMM" />

yearDropdownType options would be select and scroll, default to scroll.

this can probably be closed.
