 Google Calendar is very picky about the data it will accept from an ICS
 file provided to it via a URL (i.e. subscribing to a calendar).

 The attached patch resolves the issue by converting all times to UTC, and
 setting the TZID to Etc/Universal, which Google seems to like.

 This seems to be the least invasive means to get the calendar to work
 correctly with Google. Another method would be the leave out the TZID, and
 add a "Z" to the end of the UTC time string, but the vcalendar class
 doesn't seem to support this natively.
