Log Message:
Pull up following revision(s) (requested by apb in ticket #135):
lib/libutil/parsedate.3: revision 1.14
The tzoff argument is in minutes (behind/west of UTC), not seconds.
While here, also say that time = NULL and tzoff = NULL are independent.
The code doesn't yet implement that, but it will soon.
