This is geographical discrimination. I absolutely object to this
Euro-centrism and demand that it be changed to
$TYPO3_CONF_BARS['SYS']['severTimeZone'] = (date('Z')/3600);

Also, wouldn't it be better to keep it in seconds, so we could just
add/subtract it to the dates in Unix formats, without multiplication?
