I like the idea of expanding the info.txt .. time zone column=20
Fine by me. How is time zone expressed? Simply giving a numeric =
offset from GMT is problematic for places that observe daylight savings =
time - we'd have to update the file twice every year. Can we use =
something like PST8PDT??

A box of worms:
So there is 1h, 30min and 15min timezones and some +300 local
daylight savings rules.
Suggestion is that you put the current UTC offset in the file, and
have a local batch/cron job that modifies it according to local DST
rules.
For those intertested, http://www.iana.org/time-zones has the
list... -:)
