The 8.3 driver series has an enhancement to PGInterval which supports
adding them together. So you can do interval1.add(interval2) to sum
things up. What it doesn't support is justifying the results, so in the
example you've shown above the total would be 1 hour, 79 minutes rather
than 2 hours and 19 minutes.
