Though users are now able to use E*Reminders and have
their timezone (configured in config.php) be their
default timezone, the initial time presented to the
user should be the time in that user's timezone
(currently: it displays an inital reminder time as that
of the time in the timezone the software is installed
within)

This is a minor cosmetic bug since I don't think many
users set their reminder to send for the current point
in time. Though this helps maintain program consistency
and predictability.

Or maybe I can do a system call, get the current time from
the OS, and have the OS tell me the current time at a
different timezone (the one specified by the user)

I'd really hate to have to have users deal with irregular
timezones (esp. Arizona)

Possibly could be done with php functions, or mysql since
newer mysql permits timezone conversion operations...
though
a php solution is more desirable (as it is more
interchangable... possibly need to consult PEAR for this).
