as for writing it in C?  i haven't seen an ics attachment lately, but
is posix shell, plus utilities, really not up to the task?

My feeling is "yes".  Here's the spec:

    http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5545

You have to deal with things like RFC 822-style unfolding, time zone
conversion, and funky date formats.  COULD you do it in awk?  Maybe,
but I personally am not a fan of any awk program longer than 5 lines.
