EventCentral to Icalendar

The folks at EventCentral have a tool for publish marketing and events calendars on the web. They'll export to CSV. They'll export to PDF. They won't publish in the ICalendar format, so let's fix that.

You download it. That's pretty much it.

Don't forget to set the URL in the .env file.
