right the rationale there is that it would be misleading to show 2x
when you really haven't "doneify" the task for more than 72 days. but,
alas, this is what org 8 does.

i generate a file for the year with "events", as samuel describes it,
when i need that kind of scheduling. this has the advantage of having
the "bubbling" effect, showing all the ones not marked done as
separate entries, and the ability to have notes per event. i'm
attaching the script i use to generate it ... i pipe the output into
an agenda accessible file. samuel maybe this is useful?
