I have done some changes to the new API in KDE-PIM/Pi already.
Please download the sources from

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=104103&package_id=112604

The code in

kdepim/libkcal/icalformatimpl.cpp

is using the new API of 0.24.

You will find no examples using the time conversion of libical, because I 
implemented my own
(  platform independent ) timezone handling in KDE-PIM/Pi.

The disadvantage of my solution that it does know only information of one user 
specified timezone.
The advantage of my solution is, that iCal loading / saving is much (up to 3 
times)  faster.
(compared to the lical version currently used in KDE).

And on the Zaurus is counts, if you need 3 seconds or 9 seconds for loading the 
data ...

If you have more questions - please ask!



Lutz
