I'm trying to supply my application with my own DurationFieldType -
QuarterDurationFieldType - that will represent a quarter of a year. In the
Javadoc I've found that:

"If required, you can create your own field, for example a quarters. You
must create a subclass of DurationFieldType that defines the field type.
This class returns the actual calculation engine from getField(Chronology)."
source:
http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/apidocs/org/joda/time/DurationFieldType.html

I've done so, but I'm a little bit confused of how to implement it right.
Should I implement my own Chronology or just a DurationField (for the sake
of getField's returned value)? Also, I'm not quite sure where and how
should I specify how long the single quarter lasts. Should it be rather
calculated using milliseconds or derived from year and month data somehow?

Thank you for help in advance.
