FW: Timezone option

[Jaakko Hyvätti]

Hi,

You could create a dynamic library that replaces necessary system calls, 
like calls to time() or gettimeofday(), and link it or load it to your 
application with LD_LIBRARY_PRELOAD environment variable.  libc versions 
of these syscalls are weak symbols and user libraries override them.
