The problem with this is that the eim "applicators" operate on a single 
item/stamp.  In this case the applicator would have to not only modify 
the existing recurring event, it would have to create the new series and 
remove/add items for the modifications involved.

I think we'll have to do this in processEntryUpdate() like we did for 
updating the startTime on recurring events.
