Great.  I should make the docstring for that variable a bit more
informative, if it has n>1 user!

That's a good idea.  

I was keen to see if I could upload my 'org.ics' file generated by org
mode using 'C-c C-e c' to google.  So effectively I just use google to
be a read-only version of my agenda.  That doesn't seem to be possible
either from what I read, but I thought I saw it was on a list of future
projects.
