No, Windows isn't modifying the times of files.  In NTFS file systems
UTC is stored.  But what happens is that the timezone offset is changed
when DST begins and ends.

Here's an article that explains the problem, and even the reasons why
Microsoft chose to implement it as they have.

I'm not sure if SqueezeCenter could work around the issue.  I think it
would depend upon whether ActiveState Perl can return pure UTC file
times and then SC store those instead of local times.
