'TZ=UTC0; export TZ' or the like may work. I had to hit a lot of man pages last
time I tried to solve that one and I don't remember having much luck.
Larry, unfortunately, 'date +%z' doesn't appear to be portable, but 'date -u' is
defined to return UTC by SUS2. Any objections to something like 'expr abs\(`date
+%M` - `date -u +%M`\)/10' to grab the minute differential?
We could probably get the hours exact this way too with a little bit of effort.
I don't know if that's important to this particular test.
