[support] Content type with multiple date fields, and the calendar module

[Patrick Avella]

Hi guys, thanks for the input.

I ended up rolling my own code to get the functionality I need. I
ended up doing a custom integration of "fullcalendar" (not the module,
but integrated the library myself) and I'm using drupal_json_output()
to feed it dates via a REST call.

So, I'm good to go now. Thank you for your valuable input. I was
trying to make the calendar module do something it wasn't meant to.
