[EventCalendar] ical feed input

Hi all,

I use EventCalendar for over a year now on my (very modest) blog, but only
subscibed to this list yesterday.
I wanted to inform you I extended EventCalendar to be able to use an
external iCalendar feed for its events. I use last.fm, and lately on
Last.fmyou can keep track of concerts/events you will be atending. You
can
subscribe to your calendar in last.fm through an ical stream.
I wanted to use this stream to show on my website, and since I like the
EventCalendar interface very much I decided to extend the plugin.

The result is still a bit rough; I didn't look for the official iCalendar
specs, but used the last.fm feed as input, so I don't know how well it will
work with other ical feeds. Also when a wordpress event and a ical feed
event are on the same day I don't know where to link to (which event??), but
as it is, it works for me.
The options screen is extended with a ical feed input field, in which you
specify the url of the feed, and you can merge the normal wordpress post
which EventCalendar normally uses, with the events form the feed, if you
want.

So, if anyone is interested, let me know and I'll sent you the updated
files. (no warranty; make a backup first etc). I don;t know the policy of
this list about attachments.
