What I had in mind was to remove org-time-clocksum-format and replace
the associated format calls with a formatting function that has
customizable behaviour (how customizable is t.b.d.).

(format org-time-clocksum-format h m) => (org--format-time n fmt)

Even if nothing else changes, that removes a lot of unnecessary code
duplication, like the seven or so different ways to split the hours from
the minutes that may or may not agree on their results.  This is not far
from your own suggestion to provide different functions depending on
which output is desired, I just happen to think that these functions
would all be so similar that they should be rolled into a single
function that can produce different outputs.  I think there'd only be a
handful of possible values for fmt based on the current usage and that
suggests just another cond form would be needed in implementing this
function rather than a full-blown format string interpreter.  The fmt
argument might even be optional (use the custom value if nil) or
dynamically bound instead of being a function argument.

Achim.
