I had some other fixes to make in configure.in today, so I went ahead
and added a call to AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE. So the configuration symbol
HAVE_TM_ZONE is now available for use. You probably know better than
I what parts of the code have to be touched to prefer using the tm_zone
field of struct tm over the global timezone variable, so I'll leave that
part of the repair to you...
