Cool, I need a few more days before the new QTimeZone support for QDateTime 
will be ready for pushing to a feature branch.  I'll drop a mail to release 
about it.

I decided the full ICU change was too big to try in the shorter release cycle 
so picked out the time zone support as a more achievable aim, and a 
requirement for KDE in Qt 5.1 to allow us to switch from KDateTime to 
QDateTime in KF5.

My work branch is at [1] if anyone's interested.  It has ICU, Windows and Mac 
support done, basic integration into QDateTime, and TZ file support soon to 
follow.
