The custom timezone service is not needed anymore, since we now internally use timezones in olsen form (i.e Europe/London).

I also noticed an error causing an endless password loop due to the fact that calGoogleCalendar didn't advertise calIGoogelCalendar in QI.

Is it possible that calendarDefaultTimezone() will return a foreign timezone? If so, then this will fail.

No, the timezone-service returns an internal (intrinsic) timezones (reason why defaultTimezone is part of calITimezoneService).

etc

Can you be sure that Google knows all of our internal timezones? What happens if you configure a lightning timezone that Google doesn't know?

r=dbo with that explained

Probably not 100%, but Google also uses Olson timezones. I'd rather not maintain my own list of Google timezones, since there is no way to get the timezones from the server without parsing the UI page in a browser that is logged in via AuthSub.

Checked in on HEAD and MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH
