I think at least iCal sets up a couple default calendars...  It might be
nice, so the first time Evolution is run the user is aware that she can
use multiple calendars, and encouraged to do so.

(I don't know what the default iCal calendars are...  We should check.)

Indeed, I think it should just migrate the calendars, no questions
asked.

Maybe if we set up e.g. default calendars like "Work", "Home" and so on,
we could add a simple "Calendar" one for migrating the old Evolution
calendar to, but only if there are items to migrate.

I.e. if the user has no existing calendar items, she would get "Work"
and "Home", but if she does she would get "Calendar", "Work" and "Home"
and "Calendar" would have the old items.  Also we should create a
calendar for each of the extra calendar folders that the user had in
1.4.
