Whoops -- yes, the awk script. Sorry, now I'm remembering there was a
ruby version as well.

Here's an example of a recurring meeting I see:

RRULE:FREQ=MONTHLY;UNTIL=20161114T150000Z;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=2MO
DTSTART;TZID=Central Standard Time:20160613T090000
DTEND;TZID=Central Standard Time:20160613T103000
DTSTAMP:20160526T195005Z

I'm no awk expert, but I think I make out what's going on... the
#repetition rule section extracts (among others) the freq (monthly)
and interval (1) to build a repeater (+1m), though  and rrend using
the "until" field.
