[Building Sakai] Autogenerate .ics file name in calendar export

[Steve Swinsburg]

Yeah that would work too. I reckon go for it. 

I like the Oxford private calendars function as well (can that get patched up and submitted? We would love that feature!).

cheers

This means that a calendar does not have to be exported (ie, made public) in order to subscribe to it. Marge calendars will appears in the ical feed and there is a link on the synoptic view.
