Comment:
Attached are two patched: variant one implements Winston Lee's idea, which
is nice but cannot be used to check the value before mangling the
environment. Patch two checks whether the timezone is available in
/usr/share/zoneinfo. This can be done before mangling the environment.
Both patches do not work on windows, where the whole environment mangling
is skipped anyway.
I have no idea how to create unittests/doctests for this, as there is
afaik no way to test settings handling in django's test framework (correct
me if I'm wrong please, pointers to existing tests would be helpful too).
I have tested both variants manually. The timezones 'UTC' and
'America/Chicago' are seen as valid, whereas 'America/Chicagoops' was
rejected.
