Current funambol plugin allows to switch to VCalendar format to  
exchange data. If this is done, exclude dates are being sent in the form
EXDATE:20100301T170000Z;20100308T170000Z;20100315T170000Z
within the vCalendar entry.
This is similar to the format current Nokia mobiles seem to use (see  
bug #8835), and is not correctly understood by Horde.

I have written a patch against current cvs that transforms a string  
like the above into
EXDATE:20100301T160000Z
EXDATE:20100308T160000Z
EXDATE:20100315T160000Z
which is the format Horde uses.

Note that the time setting must be changed to the beginning of the  
event for horde to accept the exclusion, whereas outlook/funambol seem  
to send the DTEND time.

The patch is rather dirty, but a first test shows it to be functional for me.
The reverse direction (from horde to outlook/funambol) is still missing.
