Hi,

We changed the format of the ics file to return times in GMT times for
single events.  This change is due to the fact that many older versions of
outlook with bad timezone definitions were unable to handle times in local
time properly.

I would recommend using standard timezone libraries like ICU4C or Joda time
to perform timezone conversions.

Hope that helps,
Austin
