Unfortunately, I'm entirely unclear on how to massage the existing row
data to give Data::ICal the sort of input it wants.  (Of course, the
database schema was hand-hacked ages ago, before iCalendar existed, to 
automate the then-extant data on the original static HTML file, so it
wasn't designed for any outside code's needs.)

I have, somewhere at home, some magazine articles about methods to
generate iCalendar data on the fly, so I might turn to those, when I
have time

Oddly enough, I have a (neglected) instance of same, here:
http://linuxmafia.com/calendar/

I've sometimes tried to imagine some way of integrating it with my
hand-hacked PHP stuff, but damned if I know how.
