It is disconcerting to think that a good chunk of kdepim is dependent on a unmaintained
third party library.   But we knew that.

I will attempt to integrate the new (circa 2002) libical into kdepim/libkcal/libical-0.24.
If that works I will commit the new libical and we can use it and see how it goes.
At some point we'll need to decide if we should remove the old libical, and how
to deal with local patches that didn't make it into libical-0.24.

Let me know if there is a problem with this plan.
