Any ideas are welcome, I'm a little busy right now but in the next  
few weeks I could find some time to write in some additional features.

Right now the tool isn't all that smart, it basically just compares  
the two string from each event ics.

If this isn't sufficient in a future release then I can easily right  
in some smarter comparisons. The easiest thing to do for ics files  
would be to just use vobject to parse and compare them, all the hard  
work is done now and tweaking the comparison part wouldn't be all  
that hard.
