With thanks to Richard for pointing me to the right wiki page¹, I've
realised that we should use the Kolab freebusy script, not the Kronolith
freebusy script.

	https://<server>/freebusy/<username>@<domain>.ifb

which works perfectly.  Many thanks.  Indeed, we can now point Outlook 2007
at:
	https://<server>/freebusy/%USER%@%SERVER%.ifb

and it pulls F/B information for anyone on the kolab system, if the user
just puts in the email address of the invitee.  I've added this info to the
wiki.³

I can't see how to tell lightning/sunbird the address of F/B info.  It
looks like it doesn't really support IFB properly yet.
