Using a second date field as an end date on multiday events [#2224315]

I have what feels like a million dates that have been set up with a start and end date as separate fields. This is good enough for exporting iCal feeds for the most part, but I would like the ones that have an end date to properly export. There is far too much data - and custom code too - to change the event content type now.

Any tips on where to look to start patching/hooking date iCal so I can use the second field as an end date?

I believe that you could accomplish this using the hook_date_ical_export_raw_event_alter() hook. It should let you set the end date value for each event to the value from a different date field on the node. The documentation for that hook is in the date_ical.api.php file, and I think the second chunk of example code in the function may be especially useful for you.
