#
# Recent version of iCal saves a calendar by creating an .ics file for each
# event in the calendar.  This function will, in a given directory, extract the
# event details out of each event .ics file and concatenate them together,
# wrapping the result in the necessary header and footer data to create an .ics
# file for the full calendar
#
# Inputs:
# $1 - the calendar directory
#
# Outputs:
# The resuling calendar .ics file is written to stdout (standard output)
