[Remind-Fans] Yom Hazikaron / Yom Ha'atzmaut in defs.rem isn't quite correct

The definitions for Yom Hazikaron and Yom Ha'atzmaut in the defs.rem
that ships with remind should read as follows:
# If 4 Iyar is a*Thursday or* Friday, then Yom Hazikaron is
# the Wednesday before and Yom Ha'atzmaut is on
# Thursday. If 4 Iyar is a Sunday, then Yom Hazikaron
# moves to 5 Iyar and Yom Ha'atzmaut to 6 Iyar.
IF*WKDAYNUM(_h2(4, "Iyar")) == 4 ||* WKDAYNUM(_h2(4, "Iyar")) == 5
[_h(2, "Iyar")] ++4 MSG %"Yom Hazikaron%" is %b.%
[_h(3, "Iyar")] ++4 MSG %"Yom Ha'atzmaut%" is %b.%
ELSE
IF WKDAYNUM(_h2(4, "Iyar")) == 0
[_h(5, "Iyar")] ++4 MSG %"Yom Hazikaron%" is %b.%
[_h(6, "Iyar")] ++4 MSG %"Yom Ha'atzmaut%" is %b.%
ELSE
[_h(4, "Iyar")] ++4 MSG %"Yom Hazikaron%" is %b.%
[_h(5, "Iyar")] ++4 MSG %"Yom Ha'atzmaut%" is %b.%
ENDIF
ENDIF
The needed changes are shown in bold.

Also, the defs.rem on the remind wiki doesn't match the one distributed
with the source code and is even more wrong for these holidays.
