Does Windows' strftime have any short zone name %-spec? Seems like a
quick #ifdef WIN32 to use a more compact zone name would be the best
solution.
I'd be inclined to leave out the zone field *on Windows only* if there
is no %-spec that uses something more reasonable. I don't think this
problem justifies adding more %-options to log_line_prefix.
