Summary: Time Zones on liveCVS page

Initial Comment:
The latest version of the liveCVS page (I put it up an
hour ago) only supports seven time zones.

The right solution for the long-term is to convince the
CVS maintainers to go over to the timezone system used
by the rest of the O.S.

The right solution for the short term is to make a
mapping between some system timezones and the ones
supported by CVS, which knows nothing of daylight
savings time -- its zones are just fixed offsets from UTC.

Perhaps we could let the user select any system TZ,
find out the offset of that  current TZ from UTC, then
select an appropriate CVS TZ based on that offset
value.  We'll still fail in a few odd cases of
fractional zones, but not nearly as badly as we had
otherwise.
