This little detail was implemented in 2.2, somewhat because customers
outside of North America really needed it.  (Have you ever looked at
some of the timezone schemes in use in India??)

So, while testing this feature, I got to make up fun fictitious time zones,
like:
		22 hours 7 minutes and 30 seconds behind GMT
		Daylight savings time starts 30 seconds from right now
		Daylight savings time ends 1 minute 30 seconds from now

I rather enjoyed watching my software clock jump around like that.
(It's the closest I've ever come to being in a TARDIS :*)  )
