I’m in the process of creating an app that would use iCal format calendars, most likely stored by Google in Google Calendars.
What’s the best approach to achieve this? I don’t really want to import my calendars in the iOS calendar app.
Should I got through the hassle to recompile the library of iOS and all that?
Thank you.

You’ll need some sort of code to parse iCal calendars, so it stands to reason that you’ll either write that yourself or use somebody else’s code. Here’s a SO question that covers building libical for iOS, with a link to a (possibly) helpful blog entry. The blog does indeed make it sound like a hassle, but as that entry is also several years old and covers iPhoneOS 2.0 (long before it was even called iOS), things may not be so bad.
There’s also an Objective-C wrapper which may make using libical that much more pleasant. If you try it, please let us know how it works.
