+# This should set $UTZ to three spaces, `GMT', `Unrecognized/Unrecognized', or
+# possibly the empty string, depending on what system we are running on. With
+# any luck, this will catch any other existing variations as well. The way it
+# is used later does have the disadvantage of rejecting at least the
+# `Europe/London' timezone for half the year when $UTZ gets set to `GMT', like
+# happens on NetBSD, but, since I haven't come up with any better ideas and
+# since rejecting a timezone just causes a few tests to be skipped, this will
+# have to do for now.

+# SUS2 says `date +%Z' will return `no characters' if `no timezone is
+# determinable'. It is, unfortunately, not very specific about what
+# `determinable' means. On GNU/Linux, `date +%Z' returns $TZ when $TZ is not
+# recognized. NetBSD 1.6.1 "determines" that an unrecognizable value in $TZ
+# really means `GMT'. On Cray, the standard is ignored and `date +%Z' returns
+# three spaces when $TZ is not recognized. We test for all three cases, plus
+# the empty string for good measure, though I know of no set of conditions
+# which will actually cause `date +%Z' to return the empty string SUS2
+# specifies.
+#
+# Due to the current nature of this test, this will not work for the
+# three-letter zone codes on some systems. e.g.:
+#
+# test `TZ=EST date +%Z` = "EST"
+#
+# should, quite correctly, evaluate to true on most systems, but:
+#
+# TZ=Asia/Calcutta date +%Z
+#
+# would return `IST' on GNU/Linux, and hopefully any system which understands
+# the `Asia/Calcutta' timezone, and ` ' on Cray. Similarly:
+#
+# TZ=Doesnt_Exist/Doesnt_Exist date +%Z
+#
+# returns `Doesnt_Exist/Doesnt_Exist' on GNU/Linux and ` ' on Cray.
+#
+# Unfortunately, the %z date format string (-HHMM format time zone) supported
+# by the GNU `date' command is not part of any standard I know of and,
+# therefore, is probably not portable.
