Karl: I said we should be using that for the marshalling format (marshalling
mean store it to disk or on the wire, and we need to read it back at some
later point). And that we should use apr_time_t inside the code, wherever
possible, and that we would convert the values to strings only when
displayed to the user.

Right now, we store in a bogus format, and we pass around strings in many
cases, when we should be passing apr_time_t instead.
