Argl, that's bad. Those macros are defined in the Makefile, and are supposed 
to be passed to all objects compiled in that directory, but it does not 
happen, because the objects are compiled by the top-level Makefile. In the 
current source archive, they are defined the private.h header file, so this 
couldn't happen.

Even worse, that does not only mean that tzinit does not work correctly, but 
the localtime() function in mintlib does not set the tm_gmtoff member.

Maybe that also explains the different behaviour in our setup, i'm sure that 
my tzinit version sets the gmtoff variable in the kernel, because i recently 
added debug output for it. 

But don't bother to fix this, i'm currently working on updating all that 
stuff.

Will hopefully be fixed then, too.
