[icu-support] Time Zone C API?

[John L. <jl...@kd...>]

Hi,

I'm currently working on adding ICU support to the Qt C++ cross-platform 
library, and I have a few questions around the C api.  We have chosen to use 
the C api as no binary compatibility guarantee is offered for the C++ library.  
However I've found the C api to offer fewer features than the C++ api, in 
particular for working with Time Zones.  The ucal.h api offers some access to 
Time Zones, but much seems to be missing, such as finding out the transitions 
and even, bafflingly, what Time Zone ID the calendar is currently using.  
There certainly doesn't appear to be any way to just access the tz api without 
a calendar?  Or am I missing something here?

Cheers!

John.
