Would it not be better to use a command line option? While it seems
utterly senseless, somebody might come up with the idea of doing
multi boot inside QEMU (that is, installing multiple operating systems on
a simulated hard drive). Your scan in this case will only find the first
system. And if the first one is Linux/*BSD and the second one Windows,
you will set the wrong time zone.

No matter how smart you make your program, a human will be smarter and
will make a better choice of time zone in a split second.
