Thanks for the warning, but I'm really just after a publishing tool
(maybe make it a rake task one day) as an FTP replacemnet - webdav over
ssl is my weapon of choice for this kind of thing.

I was also thinking of playing round with iCal, but I never get near the
Mac these days (I gave my girl Riven to play while we both quit smoking - 
when I get into that I have trouble getting up to pee, never mind smoke)
so the RubyCocoa driver is out....
