[PATCH[V2] 5/5] tzset.3: TZ filespec omitts the colon

[JWP <elseifthen-KK0ffGbhmjU@public.gmane.org>]

If the TZ filespec omits the leading colon, glibc
will parse it for any valid format, i.e., it will
still work.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
TZ=:Europe/Kiev date
Sun Jan 18 20:19:13 EET 2015
TZ=Europe/Kiev date
Sun Jan 18 20:19:20 EET 2015
