We eventually started our own library from scratch since we considered 
it much harder to fix bugs in libical than to write a new parser 
(actually its a SAX driver for our XML system plus some model classes 
the SAX events are mapped to).

Its kinda unfortunate but I suppose it makes sense. The parser itself 
is rather trivial and all the model is better implemented in the native 
object system anyway.
Eg why should I bother with libical timezones if the Objective-C 
Foundation library already provides all the timezone calculation 
support? I suppose the same is true for KDE or GNOME.

best regards,
   Helge
