Sum clocks into a custom property

Sum clocks into a custom property

I am using org-invoice.el, which expects either CLOCKSUM or WORK properties
to exist in an item; these properties contain some time duration record in
HH:MM format.

I can't figure out how to generate those properties from a series of clock
entries with any built-in user-facing functions, so I want to do it
programmatically -- I can get the sum of the clock entries
via (org-clock-sum-current-item), but how do I convert them to HH:MM format
and insert it as a property?

For converting to hh:mm format, see the `format-seconds' function (built
into Emacs).
