This would not work, as struct tm's .tm_zone field is not sufficient
to indicate a timezone. The code would have to set $TZ and call tzset().
Given the simplicity of this I'd probably just merge Stef's
patch... It *is* kinda nice given that the timezone database is
constantly updated and having this exposed on the bus so that it is
accessible remotely has the benefit that you get the actual timezone
information in effect on the remote system, and not a possible
out-of-date timezone from the local database. If you follow what I mean...
