there isn't such feature/program AFAIK. But, you can easily do your own
program that does it. You'll just need:

* open all calendars you are interested in (cal_client_open_calendar)
* connect to "obj_updated" and "obj_removed" signals in the CalClient
object you created for opening the calendars.
* when the callbacks for those signals are called, synchronize your
copy.
