The timezone info is read from /usr/lib/zoneinfo/localtime. This should
be a symlink to the appropriate file in the /usr/lib/zoneinfo structure.
(Sudden crisis of confidence: maybe /lib not /usr/lib).
You can also use the TZ enviroment variable to set timezone on a
per process basis. (I use this with 4 copies of xclock on my system).
