Hmm, looking at that closer... indeed it looks like we can get rid of 
K*TimeZone in favor of QTimeZone. But what would you advise for porting away 
from KCalendarSystem and KLocalizedDate?

Alternatives for those would be needed to move the date/time widgets currently 
stuck in KDE4Attic to a more proper framework.
