I have been banging my head on timezone/UTC-offset implementation for my 
project. Does anyone know of an intelligent GPL-compatibly licensed 
implementation of a date-time class with time-zone and DST awareness?

Apparently glibc uses the Olson timezone database internally but it does 
not expose the API to the client programmer (this information from 
man:tzfile). So would it be helpful if I dig into glibc internals?
