Unfortunately, both the awk script and the org-export-icalendar seem to
have quite a hard time with repeating entries.
ical2org does not honor RRULE at all, the export has some very basic and
very fragile support, but anything like
<%%(org-diary-class 16 02 2011 18 05 2011 3)>
or
SCHEDULED: <2011-02-20 Sun +1w -2d>
already fails it.

I think this is an important topic, especially wrt mobile devices.
Better interoperability with other calendering systems would greatly
benefit the org user experience.
