Basically gather the information that was requested.  In particular
read the specs and work out what they make available.  The sample
ical you sent me looked more like one that was barely legal with
lots of Apple stuff in it.

BitPim will store the calendar fields as a superset of the common
formats out there, covering the union of what the phones have
and the various standards.

The data is actually all going to be stored in SQLite databases.
BitPim also has to store temporal information about the data
in order to do syncing.  For example it has to know what a phonebook
record looked like on your phone 2 weeks ago, because if the same
record is different now then you edited it on the phone.
