There's an open issue about this:
http://bugzilla.moblin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3477

The solution proposed there uses other sources of timezone, or rather,
location information which are available on a Linux system. It would
access those at the expense of adding further system dependencies to
libsynthesis (libjana).

Is the local timezone perhaps configurable? Then such highly platform
and client specific code could reside in the client, with the some less
elaborate fallback in the library itself.
