R help - Nov 2011 - How much time a process need?

Dear all,
I have finished a large function that takes around 1 day to finish.
I was using system.time(callmyfunction()) to measure how much time it needed to
finish, my problem is that I do not know how to interpret their numbers.
I was looking to convert these results to something more readably like.
"This function took 1 Day 2 hours and 35 minutes to complete."

How I can convert the system.time output to something like that?

system.time() responds in seconds, hence you can apply simple arithmetic 
to get days, hours and minutes.
