No, but that is an interesting idea. I already traverse the entire  
XML tree, so it should be possible to work on the archive part as  
well. I'll see if I can incorporate it as some point in the future,  
though right now I am swamped with other things.

I have a script that I use to obtain all actions with given context,  
and then show these using GeekTool. For now I have not made it public  
because it's a bit rough on the ends, but I'll see if I can polish it  
and make it available. One could then use this to create those files.

With the limited testing that I have done, changes in iCal will  
propagate back to GTDAlt, though this is definitely one of the not  
100% reliable areas of the system atm.
