This seems like a good idea.

Yes. my mileage with awk is at 10 meters atm, but still I managed to
tweak it perfectly, thanks! Here is what I came up with:

#!/usr/bin/gawk -f

{
	wday = strftime("s.%W - %a", mktime(gensub(/\//, " ", "g", $1)
" 00 00 00"))
	wdayInt = strftime("%w", mktime(gensub(/\//, " ", "g", $1) " 00
00 00"))
	date = strftime("%Y-%m-%d", mktime(gensub(/\//, " ", "g", $1) "
00 00 00"))
	time = ($5 == "*") ? "" : $6
	
	if ($3 == "*") tag = "";
	else if ($3 == "helg") {
		tag = "";
		dateColor = "\033[02;31m";
	}
	else if (wdayInt == 0) {
		tag = "[" $3 "]";
		dateColor = "\033[02;31m";
	}
	else {
		tag = "[" $3 "]";
		dateColor = "\033[0m";
	}

	body = ($5 == "*") ? substr($0, length($1 $2 $3 $4 $5) + 6) :
	substr($0, length($1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6) + 7)
	printf "\033[02;32m%s %s%s \033[02;32m%-11s \033[02;33m%-8s
	\033[0m%s\n", wday, dateColor, date, time, tag, body
}

This script parses the lines and:
1) if there isn't any duration info adjusts to that
2) for sundays colors the date in red
3) for REMs tagged with 'helg' (holiday in swedish) colors the date in
red (so I also had to tag all national holidays with helg, but that is
ok I think)
4) colors the week-nbr, week-day and time in green
5) colors the tag in yellow

 I also discovered that the "dur" mentioned before and in
rem2ps-manpage consists of two fields: first the starttime as minutes
from midnight and then the duration expressed like "1pm-2pm". This
required some adjustment, but nothing too hard.

One step closer... (now I will add an alias for #: rem -m -s+2 -b1 |
/path/to/gawk_script and ask conky to run that, lets see...)
