Thanks, Patrick, this looks very promising!  A couple of questions below:

I wonder, would your recommendation change if the syncing between my two
servers were only one-way -- that is to say, if I only make changes in one
calendar but want them to be reflected in both?

For oAuth2 you will need SyncEvolution 1.3.99.6 and either GNOME Online

How would you suggest installing 1.3.99.6 on my Ubuntu 13.10 system?  The
Ubuntu packages are old (1.2.99.4), Evolution is behind (3.8.4), the
installation documentation only refers to much earlier distributions, and
when I try installing from the unstable repository as suggested in the
release notes for 1.3.99.6, I get missing dependencies (activesyncd,
libebook, libecal) and am not able to find any hints about the proper way
to resolve these.

Thanks for the information.  I'm looking forward to giving SyncEvolution a
try!
