Export exam schedules to ICS #10

Closed npaun closed 7 years ago

Problem:

Viewing your final exam schedule with the Minerva Client is so much better than the old way, but now you want more.
You'd like to import your exam schedule into a calendaring program, so you can plan things in advance, and get good grades for once.

Solution:

The Minerva client should allow you to export your course schedule to ICS.
This would work by combining -C and -E (mnvc sched -CEt FALL2016 > exams.ics).

Implementation

The ICS generating code is actually really minimal, so it is better to just write a new module sched_exam_ics that generates one-time, 3-h events for each exam.
(Multi-day exams just get another event shoved in on the second day.)

Done.
