First vCalendar, then sleep, then iCalendar.

I'm patiently tring to get Drupal to sit up and do little tricks.

My latest effort is to add vCalendar support to its Events module. You can now go to any Events listing in the site, click on the little vCal link below it, and depending on how you've set up your computer, an appointment window should pop up that you can add to Outlook | Evolution | your favorite calendar software.

Your mileage may vary, but it's working for me in FireFox. Seems still broken in Internet Explorer (yes, I'm enjoying the irony).

I'm going to sleep for a little while, then do some work for, you know, paying customers. Then I'll take another stab at this, try to fix it in IE and learn the iCalendar format, popular on the Macintosh but gaining ascendancy across the board.

I'm attaching my patchfile for the Drupal event.module (4.5.0) if anyone wants to try this at home.
