libkgapi only uses KDateTime for to/from string conversion, because Qt does 
not have good enough equivalent of KDateTime::RFC3339Date (and Google API does 
not accept anything else). I think I can simplify the parser from KDateTime 
quite a bit and carry the code around in libkgapi. I can look into porting 
that myself.

The reamining uses should be whatever leaks from KCalCore API into my code.
