Assuming everything continues according to my plan,
iCalendar/vCalendar should be identical for all purposes other than
the actual parser, so calendar format should not affect the category
code at all.  (Since the iCalendar parser handles the conversion to
iCalObject, as does the existing vCal parser- in both cases, the
result is a GList of strings representing categories).

Now if that code compiled, I could let you see it. :)  Patience...
