[Freeassociation-devel] Support deprecated timezones

    Hi all,
when looking on
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=581508
we realized that some timezones can be deprecated, and thus are not
included in zone.tab file, though they are still distributed for
backward compatibility, and users can have them chosen in a system.

There was added system timezone detection from gnome-panel's clock
applet to evolution-data-server, but when user has set such deprecated
timezone in his/her system, then it is not detected properly (the
timezone cannot be opened), even the location is known.

Few liner in
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=581508#c4
contains patch to the libical to support loading also deprecated
timezones, if they are available. It's done only for searching by
location, but I believe it's fine.

Please consider including this patch in the sources.
	Thanks and bye,
	Milan

P.S.: I'm not subscribed to the list
