No, you do not need to "kludge it yourself" with Windows - there is a set of routines built into Windows you can call if you wish to get local time, and a set of registry values provided and updated with Windows which allow it to keep local time in just the same way as other systems. If you have to intervene manually you are doing something wrong. Windows, like many modern OSes, works in UTC internally.
