I tried a few obvious things, but couldn't make anything work. Setting
"timezone" manually seems to do nothing. It's supposed to be set by
putting the right thing in $TZ and then calling tzset(). So I tried
munging $TZ to something like "+0200". It did have _some_ effect, but I
couldn't get it to behave correctly in all situations. And using "%z"
and "%Z" always just gives GMT.
So I dunno. Perhaps there is some way to coax sane behavior out of
strftime, but I could not figure it out. Suggestions welcome.
