If all you're worried about is having an icalendar parser, we already have one (or at least one which we're planning to use): libical.  It's already fairly well-advanced, and aims to be a complete implementation of the iCalendar standard and associated transport protocols, etc.

If my finals don't get in the way, we should have a libical-based gnomecal in the next few weeks.

So I'm with Miguel and Bertrand on this one: let Camel handle messaging, libversit and libical handle calendaring, and simply make sure that gnomecal contains the requisite interfaces to allow any calendar provider (such as the libical-based parser I'm writing or gnomecal's current libversit-based parser) to access gnomecal's central storage abstraction.
