[Kde-pim] Libical versus system time zones

[David Jarvie]

I'm going to replace the time zone conversion code in kresources/lib/webdavhandler.cpp 
(function zoneAsUtc() etc.) which currently calls libical functions, with KDateTime based 
code. Currently, it uses the built-in libical time zones when converting. Is there any 
preference as to whether the system time zones or the libical time zones should be used 
when I replace the old code?

This raises the general question as to whether libkcal should normally use the built-in 
libical time zones, or the system ones. Currently, things aren't very consistent in this 
respect. Presumably most of the time the two sets of time zone definitions will be 
identical, but this won't necessarily always be true.
