RE: SyncToDo, SyncAB, Xcopilot

["Bharat Mediratta" <bharat@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Howdy.  Yes, back when I started writing SyncCM I decided not to sync the
todo items in Calendar Manager.  It's been a few years so I'm a bit hazy
on the details but I think I did it for two reasons.  First, with the
original libcsa library it was difficult (or impossible) to distinguish
todo items from appointments with no time/date.  The interface to get to
the todo data was sorely lacking.  Additionally, I didn't use todos in
CM so I didn't have a pressing need to write it and I didn't hear from
anybody else who really wanted it.

I *think* that with the new CSA interface it's a lot easier to add in
support for todo's but again, I haven't looked at this code in years so
somebody would have to invest some time into looking at it.
