Does libmcal have any concept of something like a shared event? It seems like
one would have to "plumb" pretty far back to support such a thing. Maybe it
would be easy to implement with an SQL backend but I know we are commited to
using mstore in anticipation of a working icapd so that we can integrate things.
I think this is an interesting idea (shared events) but I'd hate to see it hold
up basic shared calendars, as we need that feature yesterday.
