I took a slightly different approach; when I get meeting-invitations etc.,
Exchange usually sends a message; so what I did was to write some code to
parse these message and add the item to my org-calendar.

The approach is a bit fragile, and there are quite a few cases which are not
handled very well; still it may be useful; so find attached
org-exchange-capture.el; ideas for improvements are welcome.

Best wishes,
Dirk.
