Ahh, gotcha.  Yes, I agree.  =:)

As an aside, from what Reinhold said earlier, it sounds like what we should 
look for next is a way to convert ODB to iCalendar files to be 100% accurate.

So, Allen, how should we move forward with the timezone files?  
kdepim-3.5.5+/libkcal/libical-0.27/ still is out there with the new files 
from citadel....  Should we copy over only the zoneinfo/America files from 
0.27 into libical (you had mentioned that other zoneinfo files had been 
changed by our group and shouldn't be overlayed)?  Or...?
