In my opinion, libical is not *that* badly broken as long as one thinks of it 
more as a lexer than a parser. As an example, if you look at the recent patch 
for timezones at

http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-pim&m=107031047922764&w=2

you'll see that its quite easy to build the various structure parsers needed. 
Of course there are what seem to be bugs and soem dubious design choices (see 
the comment for the compareDateTime() routine in the above patch), but 
nothing that seems that hard to fix.

It does however need a good rationalisation and cleaning up. (Caveat, I 
haven't actually worked out how the generated routines work, but they seem 
to!). That said, I think it would not be that hard to start from the low 
level routines in libical, and build a perfectly usable, clean object model 
above them.

Thanks, Shaheed
