Ok I'm not an evolution developer, but here is a mail I send earlier to
David. He got the code, so you might want to wait if it blows up his
system :-).
One more comment the use of dav is not necessary, one could use timed
ftp uploads.  I'm just lazy and davfs get's it there without "any"
delay.

David,
I have written a small Evolution daemon to do exactly that.  It listen
to evolution calendar events and publishes free_busy information via dav
to a web server, any time you change the calendar. Ahem Linux only,
don't know if there is a kernel module, see below, for the BSD's, but I
can think at least of a few tricks to get the same result.

Requirements,
1. Compile free_busy, which requires at least a configure run on the
evolution source.
2. Compile your kernel if it doesn't use CODA, or you can use an earlier
version of davfs and compile a kernel module.
3. Apache with dav support.

Never came around to totally integrate it with evolution, i.e. you must
start it manually. But since it uses Wombat, you can start it before
evolution without a problem.
 
If you want to give it a shot let me know, and which version of
evolution are you running?
