http://unicode.org/cldr/data/common/supplemental/windowsZones.xml - here is
a mapping of windows <=> *nix time zones,
and here - https://github.com/google/cctz - "timezone" library which
probably is a best choice (BTW https://github.com/google/cctz/issues/53).
Anyway, it is non trivial work which I think does not related to orc
directly.
I believe it should be customer decision how to pass/extract timestamps
from orc library and any timezone conversions should be done on customer side.
