ebuild to pull in workaround for libical-048 quoting weirdness

I'm using evolution to manage my mail and calendar in Google Apps. In recent weeks I've been unable to modify calendar events; evolution gives me  "Unexpected HTTP status code 412 returned (Existing event has different ETag)". 

This appears to be caused by a regression in libical-0.48, cf. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=669003. That bugreport contains a short patch to EDS (http://bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=206460 -- courtesy of Milan Crha) which appears to work around the problem. ebuild attached.
