iCal is quite scriptable, but what you want to do is still harder than
it ought to be. Actually, it's all pretty simple except for the
problem of recurring events. Because of how iCal represents them via
scripting, you have to do a lot of work to figure out exactly what
events occur on a particular day (or, more generally, between two
points in time). You can look at Scott Tooker's "Today's Schedule"
