How does Windows deal with this then?

I think in the end, we'll have to go the route of storing our own 
timezone information.  Aric has done some investigation into timezones, 
and found that glibc has no standard API for determining the all the 
information that Wine needs to implement Win32.

Perhaps we can use glibc's data, by importing it, and storing it the 
same way as Windows does... presumably in the registry or a data file 
somewhere... Anybody know how that works?
