What I am saying is that Asterisk should be the ONLY application that
uses /usr/share/zoneinfo. The rest of the system should still get it's
time using uclibc. After all, that is the C library of the system.
Applications that can read the zoneinfo files and choose to set their
dates according to them (like Asterisk) can look in /usr/share/zoneinfo
like they always have. Asterisk obviously does not use the system TZ
setting for voicemail.
Why do we need two variables?
