Closing as it appears to me this bug is long-since resolved, i.e. the op
requested being able to have a personal holiday file and was shown how to do
this.

As to why we have our own file format rather than .ics, the iCalendar standard
is too restricted and doesn't cope with many of the more complex holiday
recursion rules, especially around substitute days.  It also doesn't support
calendar systems other than Gregorian, i.e. we need to be able to calculate
Islamic and Jewish calendar dates as well.  Eventually we will have a new XML
based file format which we will propose as a new standard with shared data
files between many projects, but that's still a while off.

KHolidays is now back under active development.  I had hoped to have the
ability to select multiple holiday regions available in SC 4.5 but ran out of
time so it will be in 4.6, but that's a separate bug/wish.
