- I don't recommend changing the iCal files as is, due to concurrent
access problems. Of course, the API is private, as usual with Apple.
(see copy Microsoft with exclusive APIs in the system)
- for AddressBook data files, see ~/Library/Application
Support/AddressBook, but these are only binary and undocumented data. I
think there is an API for accessing these data, but I'm not sure it is
documented.

The other option would be to write a conduit for iSync to sync with
MutliSync, but again this is not documented by Apple.

For iPod syncing, Christophe Fergeau is working on this from within
Evoluution, but there are some issues due to the encoding (you'd
encounter them anyway). I'm trying to convince him to make a MultiSync
plugin...
