Hi again,

I would propose a configuration possibility where all clockings in Org
are rounded up or down to full quarters of an hour.

Motivation: Mostly customers and bosses are not willing to look at
clocktables showing minutely detailled entries like

 CLOCK: [2012-09-18 Di 08:13]--[2012-09-18 Di 08:27] =>  0:14
 CLOCK: [2012-09-18 Di 08:33]--[2012-09-18 Di 09:49] =>  1:16
..

I would suggest Org to be able to create clockings with the starting und
ending timestamp being rounded to the next or previous (configurable)
full quarter (half?) of an hour.

I'd like to know if other Org users are also adjusting clock entries to
full quarters (halfs) of hours all the time.

What do you think?
