Apparently I was not very awake when I wrote that. Awk could be used to
increment dates by n days, weeks, moths or years. But this would only be
needed if we want / need to turn iCal RRULE events with COUNT specifier
into COUNT separate org events (trying to circumvent the lack of such a
COUNT specifier in org repeating dates).

So although it is feasable, I'm still not sure it is the proper way to
go. However, I am willing to implement it if needed / desired.

I still think that this is the correct approach.
