My plan was to use that field to store the iCalendar repeat field.
Repeating events are really complex, do consider...

 - start/end dates (repeat until...)
 - exceptions (except NOT 1st Feb, 2008)
 - monthly, weekly, every N days, daily
 - monthly : Nth Xday (e.g. 3rd Friday of the month)

If you make any progress, then keep us informed.

-Alex
