Summary: win32timezone breaks with Windows Vista

Initial Comment:
Windows Vista has introduced a new mechanism for handling of time zone names.  Some of the functionality still works, but any functionality that depends on retrieving the local time zone will fail under Windows Vista.

What needs to be done is to look into what Windows Vista does with tzapi.dll in the various registry settings and to put in the hooks to load the resources from that file as appropriate.

I will code these fixes when I can find the time; otherwise, for now this is an open issue.
