Timezones

A friend of mine is taking a vacation in Australia, so I've been thinking about timezones quite a bit.

Something I've noticed with PunBB, not really a bug is the lack of timezone features. For some, selecting a GMT offset will be ok. The problem is those who live in areas that experience day light savings time.

I'm in US/Pacific and in the winter we are GMT -8. However, in the summer we are GMT -7. Timezones are confusing. And to top it off, many places in Britain are actually on the prime meridian, but also feature a "day light savings time" called British Summer Time. When these places are in BST, they are actually GMT +1. It happens about a week after ours, and the difference is still 8 hours. However, it is NOT GMT -8. It's GMT -7. GMT never changes +/- 1 hour for summer/winter.

Confusing, but I thought it might be worth while to have "correct" timezone features.

So basically, enable a feature for "daylight savings time"!
