I was thinking of adding %z as an option to log_line prefix, so to get the current output you would do '%t %z'. I was not suggesting changing the %Z passed to strftime if they ask for timezone.
I think this is a bad idea, mainly because you couldn't easily get the same output. It would be almost the same, except when you crossed a DST boundary in between the two calls to strftime; in which case you'd get a completely misleading result.
I believe that in the long run we will stop using the platform-specific strftime at all, and go over to using just our own code, which makes this not a permanent problem but just an artifact of the fact that we haven't completely finished the process of absorbing src/timezone/. So I'd rather not invent an API element simply because Windows' strftime sucks.
However tz is implemented, I'd like to see a log_line_prefix option which simply omits the TZ, which is noise for me.
