And was it rejected? I can imagine it would break systems that rely on
TZ and don't have something like the timezone database.

After some testing in Windows:

   WinApi functions (I tested GetTimeZoneInformation and
LocalFileTimeToFileTime ) are not affected by TZ.
   The VC++ runtime functions (localtime and mktime) are affected by the
TZ value like in Unix.

Apart of unsetting TZ, the only alternative I see would be not to rely
on libc at all (store timezone config in registry values for instance).
