Timeclock.el works on a very, very simple basis.  In fact, the .el is
really just an interface to manipulating the data.

The data is as follows:

  EVENT DATE TIME DESCRIPTION

Where EVENT is 'i' for check-in, and 'o' for check-out.

However you get those event codes into the timelog file, it's up to
you.  If you format them correctly, then timeclock.el will be happy
with you.
