Rather than add optional KDateTime::Spec arguments, I think it would be
better for the caller to transform the QDateTime into a KDateTime and then
to call the KDateTime variants of these methods. Generally speaking, when
time zones are being used, KDateTime should be used in preference to
QDateTime, so this in theory shouldn't be needed too much.

This ought to be fixed - I'll look at it.
