Outputting a range of years

Hello,

I was checking through the manual but didn't find anything
appropriate, how would you output a range of years, say from 1960 to
the current year?

It's for a form where they need to select a year, this is the intended
output:

<label>Year:
<select name="year">
<option value="1960"> 1960 </option>
<option value="1961"> 1961 </option>
...
</select>
</label>

I was hoping to use a while construct, using
{$smarty.now|date_format:"%Y"} as the final year. Is the solution to do
it in PHP and pass smarty an array? I was hoping there was a better way.
