taskjuggler/TaskJuggler — Issue #44: Wrong filename extension for icalreport output file

According to RFC5545:

File extension(s): The file extension of "ics" is to be used to
designate a file containing (an arbitrary set of) calendaring
and scheduling information consistent with this MIME content
type.

At the moment tj3 (3.1.0) running on Mac OS 10.7 (haven't tried other OSs) produces a file with the extension ical. Note that the mention of “Macintosh file type code(s)” just below that paragraph of the RFC is nothing to do with file naming, rather the old-school Mac file identification stuff ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_format#Mac_OS_type-codes )!

Please change this so that the extension is "ics", to conform to the RFC (and allow the OS to open automatically in the right application this type of file!)

Thanks!
