Darren- actually "Synchronize" is the name of a calendar package, different
from Calendar Manager.

** SyncCM will NOT synchronize with Crosswind's "Synchronize" package **

Below is some code written by a pilotmgr user.. maybe it will be helpful?
langrill@xxxxxxx expressed interest in wrapping this code up into a pilotmgr
conduit, but I never saw any results...
