Note: I have NOT compiled this patch locally or done a try run with it.  Assuming it compiles, I believe, based on code inspection for comm-central, that it should do the right thing.

Made it compile. Boris, happy with those changes?

Try run is here, I'll comment later on the result:

I had to lose the const due to this error:

c:/mozilla-source/comm-central/calendar/base/backend/libical/calICSService.cpp(1012): error C2664: 'nsresult CallQueryInterface<nsIStringInputStream,nsIInputStream>(nsCOMPtr<nsIStringInputStream> &,DestinationType **)': cannot convert argument 1 from 'const nsCOMPtr<nsIStringInputStream>' to 'nsCOMPtr<nsIStringInputStream> &'
        with
        [
            DestinationType=nsIInputStream
        ]
c:/mozilla-source/comm-central/calendar/base/backend/libical/calICSService.cpp(1012): note: Conversion loses qualifiers

is "green". Intermittent failure on Mac xpcshell-test, Mozmill is red due to bug 1371898.

The changes look OK to me. Thanks for taking care of Thunderbird :-)
Feel free to request review from Kent.

Thanks for fixing up the compile issues.  Looks good to me!

It's basically up to you whether you think review from Kent is needed.  If you feel competent to review the changes, I'm good with it, I think.

When are you going to land bug 1371699? Do you think we should land this patch here now so we don't have to track the other bug?

I put r?rkent just in case. Of course if Kent's review hasn't arrived before the patch is needed, I'll land it with my review only.

Well, seeing as I don't have patches up yet and need reviews... Certainly not until Monday.  More likely a few days after that.
