I am not even sure what that is. Will a PECL update contain a bugfix in 
TZ-handling of PHP? I mean all timezones work, just a "bunch" doesn't 
(including all half-hour-zones, but also all +0800-zones).

As everybody seems happy with the missing tcemain fix, I will commit 
that and also change all usage of:

   $tzOffset = (date('O')/100)*60*60

to

   $tzOffset = date('Z')

so that all half-hour-TZ-server-users are happy (at least under Unix).

Any objections?
