[Orgmode] Minor Bug in ical2org awk script

Hi all, hi Eric

Eric Fraga's wonderful awk script to export/convert googlecalendar to
orgmode contains a minor bug in creating active timestamps. A date like
21.7.2010, 14-15 will be converted to

<2010-07-21 14:00-15:00>

What is missing here is the day of the week. It should be (in German):

<2010-07-21 Mi 14:00-15:00>

That is not a problem for Orgmode which doesn't need the day of the week
to display the entry correctly. But it's a problem for iCal-export. If
you import this date into googlecalendar without manually fixing the
weekday information, GoogleCalendar doesn't display the date correctly
but handles it as a "whole-day"-entry (i.e. without the time
information). I know the shortcoming is actually an iCal.el matter, but
it could be fixed on the awk script level, I think.

Greetings,

Sven
