Is it possible to create a calendar view with two entries per item?

Question

I need a Calendar view, that shows two calendar entries per list entry (one for the begin date and one for the end date).

Is it possible to do this by creating a custom View Type (and maybe deriving from the calendar view type), or is there some alternative method?

You could probably build the view you want with a Data View Web Part (DVWP). DVWPs are XSL-driven and really the only contraints on what you can show on the page is your imagination and what data you have available.
