Unfortunately file syncing won't work.  Something is required that actually
understands the structure of iCal and vCard files.  And to work safely with
Evolution it needs to communicate with a running pcs (that means CORBA).

This would make a very nice project for a student or aspiring developer
somewhere.  The documentation on working with Evolution is very good.  There are
samples of pcs clients in the source code.
