Please consider adding that to the current logic, and then maybe we can both 
test the two versions? I think that offers the best way to assess which is 
the most robust solution as I'm not in a position to share the source data 
with which I am testing, and I'm guessing you are in a similar position.

I'll try to do a quick pass over the core logic with more comments so you 
can see what is going on in the current version.

Also, I'm planning some small optimisations efforts to the new class 
structure which should not interfere with your efforts.

Judging from the debug output, it starts off ok. But since we have 63k 
people, I'm guessing that there will be ~70k entries so it may be that 
either I've not been patient enough, or maybe a resource problem. At any 
rate, I need to look into it a bit more.

Also, I think I mentioned that for me, when I restart kontact, the calendar 
does not repopulate (unless I delete and re-add the resource), for reasons 
I've yet to look into. But it might be that a similar problem also affects 
my GAL, and so even an incremental download does not help. Again, that is 
just speculation at this point.
