IIRC, we reviewed v0.27 and incorporated any changes we found
into our internal version.  Also, we have upgraded to tzdata 2007h.
I do see that tzdata 2007k is out, so we need to update the zoneinfo again.

Yay!  It's great to see libical getting a renewed life.

I'm not sure how to proceed.
I don't think we're ready to simply drop our internal version for an
external libical dependency.  But I could probably be convinced otherwise.

Has v0.30 incorporated any changes from the kdepim version?
Perhaps someone needs to go through that exercise first.

But, this is all great news and now we need to come up with a roadmap.
