Resmgr and kolabfilter are responsible for handling invitations like for 
resource planning. The freebusy scripts are necessary to get freebusy lists.

Yes, a Kolab Server could be made to work without this,
but it would not be a Kolab2 Server anymore.

It would be okay to consider fbview a module which some people would not want
to install, but I expect that some of the code is actually needed to parse and
handle iCalendar for resmgr and freebusy and we cannot go without those.
So first we would need to find out how to have the same funcationality
with less code.
