whatever protocol you use, it's just a matter of writing a
CalBackend-based class and register it in the CalFactory that is created
in the wombat, or, if you want a separate project, write a wombat-like
process that creates a CalFavtory and registers the CalBackend-based
class on it.

if it's a separate process, you might have to create a
EvolutionShellComponent and a EvolutionStorage within it, so that you
can insert your calendar accounts into the folder tree.
