Here a patch which introduced a special variable RECIPIENT_EMAIL in
calendar(1).

By default it sends daily emails to a user and it can be forwarded via
~/.forward to desire destination. But here no way to send calendar's email
to other email.

My patch introduced a variable RECIPIENT_EMAIL which can be used to override
the destination email in calendar file.

Feedback? Ok?
