Yes.

Sort of. seconds/minute and days/month are not constants, and so we have
to handle offsets to the 'seconds' field and to the 'days' field
separate. Everything else just rolls over from one field to the next.

No. Not at all. The apr_interval_time_t is just an plain 64-bit integer
count of microseconds. It's not appropriate at all for this.

You only have to do "magic" on the days and seconds fields. The rest are
just standard conversions, with a little bit of cleverness to ensure that
very large offsets (2^33 minutes, for example) are handled correctly.
Basically the code works by using apr_explode_time as an oracle. The
seconds->years conversion is just too complicated otherwise. This is
really all explained in the comments to the normalize_time function.
