There is a way.  INIT reads the /etc/TIMEZONE file and processes all 
the 

	variable=value

records, placing the appropriate setting into it's (init's) environment which
will be passed to all child processes of init.

If you place too many variables into the file (and I don't know the count) 
init will just silently ignore the extra ones.
