Sweet, this turns up what we're looking for.  (That doesn't mean I have a
patch though.)  Hey James, we're back to it being a Wine bug, though Moz
is doing something moderately questionable.

I went over to lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey and searched for
GetTimeZoneInformation.  That produced the following file:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/nsprpub/pr/src/md/windows/ntmisc.c

They're doing a WideCharToMultiByte into the global variable _tzname.  As
the comment says, perhaps they shouldn't be..  Anyway, _tzname should live
in msvcrt, but our include/msvcrt/time.h has:
/* FIXME: Must do something for _daylight, _dstbias, _timezone, _tzname */

I'm pretty sure we don't support exporting globals from a DLL, so some
other trick has to be dreamt up.  I'll try to hack something up.
