ok. it does seem like a fairly standard thing to do with calendars (ie, to have
repeating events that end after a certain number -- or after a certain date).
perhaps, in the future, it is worth implementing something that allows org-mode
user to specify something lik:

SCHEDULED: <2008-06-01 Sun +1w~10> ;repeats until 10 weeks after starting date

or

SCHEDULED: <2008-06-01 Sun +1w~2008-08-03> ;repeats until august 3

the actual symbols ("~") and syntax used above are probably bad, but hopefully
it captures the idea.

it may be a bit beyond my abilities, but if i get something to work, i will
share it ;-)
