Re: [Stellarium-pubdevel] timezone for windows

[<fab...@go...>]

Hi thanks,

I think we can indeed just use the Qt lib for that, it will be more
portable. But let's keep that for next release 0.9.1.
I am now finishing the last changes before releasing, please test everything
you can and fix the last cosmetics bugs/doc/wiki etc...

Normally translation re-works, as well as SDL version, including sound.
