If I run the following program:

using System;

public class Example
{
        public static void Main()
        {
                Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now);
        }
}

Using the Great Britain timezone UTC and if I set the system date and
time to a couple of hours before the transition (midnight on the 30th UTC)
from daylight saving time back to standard time (2016-10-30 02:00:00):

[neale@lneale3 - mono] sudo date --utc 103000002016.00
Sun Oct 30 00:00:00 UTC 2016

And run the program. I would expect that my time  would be UTC (1am) -
which it is when I run it on Windows .NET. However, it comes out as
midnight as it determines that we are in the ambiguous hour and simply
applies the base offset.


I am trying to determine what the logic should be for it to disambiguate
this time and apply the correct offset and give me the same value as
Windows.

I did look at just plugging in the Reference Source version of the class
but there is a lot of platform specific code in the Mono version so it is
not a simple task.
