Hi,

One feature that Core supports and that is sorely missed in Calendar
is native handling of the timezone database present in Unix systems.
Sure, Calendar does have some rudimentary knowledge of timezones, but
I've come across situations where it's not enough, forcing me to write
C stubs to directly access the Libc timezone handling functions (which
are not pretty).

Cheers,
Dario Teixeira
