Translate Windows timezone to TZID?

[Masayoshi Okutsu]

The keys used to be localized in Windows NT because the key names were 
standard time names. Localized Windows NT needed to translate keys to 
localize time zone names. Since Windows 2000, if I remember it 
correctly, Std was added so that they no longer needed to translate the 
keys. But the Std and Dlt values are translated in localized Windows. 
Please note that multi-lingual Windows or adding locales to English 
Windows doesn't have localized time zone names (or has English time zone 
names).

Thanks,
Masayoshi
