[EventCalendar] Feature Request: Recurring Events for one Event Post?

EventCalendar Team,

I just found this plugin for wordpress and promptly changed from RS-Event to this one, and I realized that it is missing one feature that would make it outstanding.

Would it be possible to add a recurring event based off a single post?
For Example: Every Tuesday from Jan 1 - March 1 (or say for 12 weeks) at 3:00 "Event X" will happen.

It seems to me that this would be easy to implement, although I have not looked at the plugin and am not skilled enough to do it myself.

I would think the code would be something like:
-New integer values for "Days in Month"
EX:
M1 = 31
M2 = 28

-Script Code:
    After posting first Event
    While "New Integer Set to Start At 0" < "Number of Weeks to Repeat"  (which would be 0 by default)
        Loop 7 Times
            Add 1 to "day integer"
            If day = "Days in Month" + 1      (Which would be the first day in the new month)
                Add 1 to "month integer"
                Set "Day Integer" to 1
            End If
        Post New Event
        Add 1 to "New Integer Set to Start At 0"

The only thing my idea doesn't have implemented is the change for leap years, but the script could have a check:
    If "current year" / 4
        Then M2 = 29
    End if
(And this code is valid until 2100... which I don't think will be of any worries. lol)

I see the latest version that I found today came out two days ago, so hopefully you guys aren't burned out on coding. 

Thanks
Jonathan M
