Subject: Adding support for limits and exclusions to iCal recurring events

Hi

I've been wanting to have support for exporting recurring events to iCal
while limiting the number of repetitions, as well as excluding dates.
The patch below is my attempt to add this functionality. However, I'm in
doubt as to whether or not this is the right way to go about it (parsing
dates stored in the property drawer), or if there's a better way?

A sample headline supporting this might look like this:

* Test
:PROPERTIES:
:END_DATE: [2013-07-21 Sun]
:EXCLUDE:  [2013-07-14 Sun]
:ID:       b376f8e3-f1a7-4ed6-ab9b-a255938af8c0
:END:
<2013-07-07 Sun +1w>


If this is a reasonable way to go about it, I'll be happy to resubmit it
as a proper patch (i.e. from `git format-patch`) for inclusion. :)
