Here's a patch that appears to work. Gives the same output with and without --enable-integer-datetimes. Answers look like they're correct.

I'm basically treating the components as three different intervals (with the other two components zero), rounding them each to usecs, and adding them together.

While it might be nice to carry a little extra precision around, it doesn't seem to be needed in these cases. If errors do arise, they should be at most 3 usec, which is pretty much noise for the floating point case, I suspect.

Bruce, how's it look on your machine? If it looks good, I'll add the examples we've been using to the regression tests.
