Another possibility would be to use IXGMTOFFSET and have a utility to set
it for people that don't use ixemul.  This would avoid creating yet
another variable that needs to be switched for DST.

IXGMTOFFSET is just a 5-byte binary environment variable whose first 4
bytes are a big-endian longword giving UTC-LT in seconds, and whose fifth
byte is a DST flag (not needed for purposes of computing GMT from LT).
