Confusing Etc/GMT

[Scheffenegger, Richard]

Hi!

While the Etc/GMT names might be POSIX style, it is very confusing to a
lot of people, when CET is suddenly not GMT+1 but Etc/GMT-1.

Perhaps you can check in those lines to the Etcetera File so that people
eventually try UTC with the
Correct offset?

Thanks a lot,
   Richard
