That would be very helpful.

That is the new test `icalendar--decode-isodatetime' which I added just
yesterday.  Before committing I have checked it on two different
systems.

Luckily I forgot to remove the lines

  (message "%s" (current-time-zone (encode-time 0 0 10 1 1 2013 0)))
  (message "%s" (current-time-zone (encode-time 0 0 10 1 8 2013 0)))

from the test.  They should result in the ouput

  (3600 EET)
  (7200 EET)

but the log file shows
  
  (0 EET)
  (0 EET)

It looks as if hydra does not know the time zone "EET".  That is strange.
