Comment (by pulkomandy):
Using the Locale kit and ICU, I had to drop the call to localtime(). This
means ICU will now handle the timezone stuff. Unfortunately, it uses C++
objects, and these will not automagically update when you change some
setting. So we'll have to tell ICU when a change of timezone occurs, so it
can update the default BCountry object.
The other problem is the time preflet isn't aware of ICU yet, and could
use it a lot more instead of messing with the timezone data directly. So
it is not easy to plug them together.
