I wonder if the Khal author (Christian) intends for users to rename the
executable. Otherwise, why use argv[0]? Is it some side-effect of a
documentation tool used by Khal?

I would understand if khal and ikhal were the same executable, and
behavior was changed based on argv[0], but that's not the case.

It does look ugly.
