  Description     : iCalendar VTIMEZONE definitions from the Olson database

Data::ICal::TimeZone provides ready-made VTIMEZONE components for the named
zones of the Olson time zone database, as Data::ICal entry objects that can be
added directly to an iCalendar document.

Each zone is a generated class under Data::ICal::TimeZone::Object, so no
parsing of tzdata happens at runtime. The bundled definitions were generated
from tzdata2007g.

This module is a dependency of the Cassandane test suite shipped with
cyrus-imapd. Cassandane's 1383 tests cover the CalDAV, CardDAV, JMAP and Sieve
surface of the server; 35 suites currently cannot run in Debian because these
Perl modules are not packaged. See #1145447.

The package will be maintained under the umbrella of the Debian Perl Group.
