Combine iCal Attachments in IMAP Messages

This is a simple script to scan an IMAP mailbox, pull in any messages with ICS files attached, and merge them into a single ICS file as output. I used this at work with our exchange-like server that did not support iCal subscriptions.

The script depends on the icalendar library from http://codespeak.net/icalendar/.

We have an Exchange-like mail server at work, but it doesn't support iCal subscriptions. Since I use a Mac, and don't have any interest in Outlook, that makes calendar access a pain.
