287	timezone fixes	Jim Ursetto	felix winkelmann	"In C_decode_seconds, on platforms that do not consult tm_gmtoff (currently everything other than OS X), the local timezone offset is always reported in the 10-element time vector.  It should report the offset from UTC (0).  The attached patch does that.

This change preserves the ""UTC-ness"" of the time object so that, if a user accepts 10-element time values in his own eggs, he can know the actual timezone offset without external help.  I'd like to use this fixed behavior in a egg I am working on.

I think syn is having a somewhat related issue with DST, which we will tackle in another ticket."	enhancement	closed	minor		core libraries	4.5.x	fixed
