Background of the question is that all-day detection in the calendar
incoming script fails for mobical.net:
http://bugzilla.moblin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3009

mobical.net sends times which are in UTC (because we declare that our
client supports UTC) and align with the user's timezone selected in his
mobical.net preferences. Here's an example for the two hour offset in
Brussels:
        DTSTART:20090520T220000Z
        DTEND:20090521T215959Z

Apparently all-day detection works if we use autodate instead of
autoenddate. So the question is: which cases would fail if we decided to
do that for all servers?
