These are the snipplets of the VTIMEZONE objects that come with libical. If
(and we really need to, sooner rather than later, since that's an absolute
requirement to be compatible with other groupware systems) we implement
proper time zone support in libkcal, we need to have the iCalendar VTIMEZONE
object available for each time zone to copy it to the .ics files. Now the
problem is that this means that in libkcal we won't be able to use the
system-wide time zone library, but need our own timezones... (Unless the
KTimezone class is able to give a full representation of the timezone
information needed for the Calendar format, in particular, we need all
date/times when DST starts/ends, and the offset to UTC for DST and normal
time periods).
Cheers,
Reinhold
