You connect to a calendar server instance through C++ and retrieve the 
data as C++ calendar objects. So the attributes are available as 
strings, DateTime objects, numbers, etc. With that you're free to 
export/externalise to a format whatever you want.

Actually I was wondering, whether you'd suggest to convert to vCalendar 
or XML. I guess for the time being it'd be easier for me to get quick 
results to export to vCalendar. (I want to include contacts and notes 
later on as well, but would concentrate on calendar first)
