[GroupDAV] GroupDAV Connector / Corrupted Times (ZideStorebug?)

[Chris Bryant]

I noticed changes to events related to timezones also.  I noticed that 
events were coming into the Funambol server with the proper start date/time 
and end date/time, with a Z at the end to indicate GMT time, but when it 
gets stored on the GroupDAV server, the Z is removed, converting the time to 
localtime instead.  I assume the GroupDAV connector is making this change, 
but I don't know if this is being done inadvertantly or intentionally.
