The conversion is done in kdepim/kresources/kolab/(kcal,knotes,kabc). This 
is the place where all XML reading and writing is done. What happens is 
that if you add an iCal to korganizer, it will store it in memory. But on 
disk it will store in whatever format you have chosen in the resource 
setup, so if you have the kolab resource as the only one to save into, it 
will save in kolab xml.

No, you need the proko2 branch, as described somewhere on kolab.org.
