No. Keep the private classes private, but in a _p.h file.

*IF* the need arises for this to be available for an application in an 
URGENCY, then it can copy the _p.h file while waiting for the inclusion 
in kdelibs.

It's like my other email: I find it very unlikely that any application 
will need another timezone backend format that:

1) is unsuitable for kdelibs inclusion
or 2) cannot be added to kdelibs in time
