Yep.  Back to the Future.  Let's stay away from "KCal" and "KCalendar"

commit 6b4c1896211075fcd0b88b2c617eaacd831c9f6d
Author: Allen Winter <winter at kde.org>

    Add the new KCalCore library.
    
    The KCalCore library deprecates and mostly replaces the KCal library.
    KCalCore is free of any relation to the old Calendar resources and
    focuses entirely on iCalendar and vCalendar storage and data manipulation.
    KCalCore used QSharedPointers for safe memory access, is free of i18n
    strings and contains no methods for user interaction: KCalCore is all
    about the calendar data.
    
    Methods for user interaction will be moved into the new KCalUtils library
    which is coming soon.
