I'm a user, not a FOP developer, but I'll go out on a limb and respond that
like all java programs, DST is calculated by the JVM, not the actual java
compiled program.

The java version used by FOP depends on the version you are running. If you
are running 0.20.5 then the java program is executed without a path, meaning
that it will use whatever version is installed by Windows in
%WINDIR%/system32. Update your operating system and FOP will use the latest
JVM automatically. FOP 0.93, on the other hand, uses the local java
installation explicitly. 

If you are running 0.20.5 then execute this at your Windows Command Prompt:

"%WINDIR%\system32\java" -version

If you are running 0.93 then execute this at your Windows Command Prompt:

"%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java" -version

Each command will cause the java version to be displayed. For example: java
version "1.5.0_07".

If you need to update your Windows OS java version, use the Windows Update
utility found on the Tools menu of Windows Explorer (Version 7). This will
automatically update your Windows OS to contain the new DST rules.

If you need to update your Sun java version, consult
http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Intl/USDST_Faq.html. The
following are minimum Sun java versions that contain the new DST rules:
1.3.1_18, 1.4.2_11, 5.0_u6, and 6. 

If you are not running Windows, then the above information about the new DST
rules are still correct, but you'll need to talk to someone else about how
to assess your local system to determine the java version being executed.
The fop or fop.sh file in the FOP root folder will contain the java version
being used, and the same "java -version" command applies to all operating
systems.

Jeff
