[tz] Timezone support in UTC format like in Windows 7

[Ted Cabeen]

The TZ database only holds data about timezone information designed for 
use by computers.  The TZ project does not maintain a database of 
identifiers for human use.  Such a database would need to be maintained 
for each language, as many locations have different names in different 
languages.  (Wien vs Vienna, for example.)

The Unicode CLDR project might be a good place to start:
