This is where it gets sticky. Because Daylight Saving Time (and even time
zones themselves, to a lesser extent) is a political issue, the time tables are
reissued every year to account for changes. For your uses, perhaps the
simplest thing to do would be to provide a pick list with hours plus or minus,
and a checkbox each for half-hour and DST use. This would allow the user to set
local conditions as well as can be expected.
It's far from perfect, but considering the alternatives...
