I've had a look at the calendar file exported from Outlook, and in particular
the RRULE line which looks like this:
RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=0;BYDAY=MO,TU,WE,TH,FR

So it appears that icalendar-import-file may not be handling the BYDAY part, and
just taking the INTERVAL=0. So, is this a missing feature of
icalendar-import-file, or is it just not possible to translate this into a valid
sexp? Or is it a bug?
