Daniel,

yes, thanks for pointing this out. The script indeed does not
translate the times to the local time zone.  Google outputs (in the
basic.ics file) times in GMT.  However, it also includes the time zone
information but my awk script ignores that information.  The script
also ignores the end time for timed events.

Obviously time for a v2 of this script!

let me have a think about this and I'll see if I can do something a
bit more intelligent (at least for Linux systems where possibly
compatible time zone information can be found in /usr/share/zoninfo/*)
and fix up the end times as well.
