had some difficulties with google's timezone handling but those appear to be
fixed now.  seems to be woring perfectly!

for a real two-way sync to work with this method, I think we need access to
uid's of google calendar events.  If I read the documentation properly, the
underlying gdata-python library doesn't support uid queries.  So I filed an
enhancement bug:
http://code.google.com/p/gdata-python-client/issues/detail?id=444&q=uid
maybe someone with a better coding sense can improve it; in any case, we can
all follow its progress at that url.
