In the "Upcoming Events" embedded calendar, a event that spans  
multiple days is shown many times, once for each day. This is very  
confusing, since it gives the impression that they are multiple  
different events.

Instead of showing someting like:
July
1 Multi-day event
2 Multi-day event
3 Multi-day event
4 Multi-day event
5 Multi-day event

it should show
July
1 - 5 Mutli-day event

Since each day is shown as a separate event, this also breaks the  
"maxevents" parameter, which not only will not show the desired amount  
of separate events, but gives the false impression that a long  
multi-day event is shortar than it is, because only "maxevents" days  
are shown.

The attached image illustrates the problem (length of event is 5 days,  
maxevents = 3)
