[Freeassociation-devel] Default value for ical_errors_are_fatal

[Chenthill]

I thought we already made the conclusion to add the symbol in evolution
and evolution-* packages. So there is no change that need to be done in
libical, lets make it in evolution-* packages. Once we fix all the bugs
with the option fatal set, we can remove it from evolution.

thanks, Chenthill.
