+Where 'davical.example.com' is the hostname of your DAViCal server and the

+this will default to the value of the $$c->tzsource configuration value, with
+a further default to the zonedb/vtimezone directory relative to the root of the
+DAViCal installation.

+This script can be used to initialise or update the timezone information in
+DAViCal used for the in-built timezone service.
