Agreed here as well (regarding making the interval a 32 bit).
Let's stay really clear here.
an apr_time_interval_t needs to continue to usec precision. A 32 bit
number gives you +/- 34 seconds. Has to continue to be 64 bits in
the general case.
a time_interval of seconds could be 32 bit. But why create another
type, or force it's precision? Using int(s) as the delta of time_t(s)
makes more sense to me.
The machine's int arithmetic should be the fastest thing available, so
using a straight int for sec time_t deltas is the obvious answer.
