You have to parse the 'recurrence' property, which can get rather
complicated. (Also note that iCal has a bug in that it prefaces that true
recurrence string with ":" when you _get_ it. but for setting a recurrence
you must omit the ":" .)
If you're serious about it, the Recurrence Rule definition is in RFC 2445,
section 4.8.5.4, you need to read all the 4.8.5 sections to understand it.
You can find RFC 2445 here: <http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2445.txt>
