Can that even be done without a kludge?

The only method I can think of would be to adjust the Windows time when 
it boots, and to ensure Windows never updates the hardware clock.

My TZ is GMT +2, and on my own dual-boot machines I had to decide 
whether *nix or Windows would have broken time settings. I'm happy to 
report that the decision was really a no-brainer...
