/* Rectify the value of the environment variable TZ.
There are four possible kinds of such values:
- Traditional US time zone names, e.g. "PST8PDT". Syntax: see
- Time zone names based on geography, that contain one or more
slashes, e.g. "Europe/Moscow".
- Time zone names based on geography, without slashes, e.g.
"Singapore".
- Time zone names that contain explicit DST rules. Syntax: see
The Microsoft CRT understands only the first kind. It produces incorrect
results if the value of TZ is of the other kinds.
But in a Cygwin environment, /etc/profile.d/tzset.sh sets TZ to a value
of the second kind for most geographies, or of the first kind in a few
other geographies. If it is of the second kind, neutralize it. For the
Microsoft CRT, an absent or empty TZ means the time zone that the user
has set in the Windows Control Panel.
If the value of TZ is of the third or fourth kind -- Cygwin programs
understand these syntaxes as well --, it does not matter whether we
neutralize it or not, since these values occur only when a Cygwin user
has set TZ explicitly; this case is 1. rare and 2. under the user's
responsibility. */
