I think this may fix some of the Mozilla problems I have been seeing
under WINE. Should the _tzname variable exported from msvcrt use this
information? I sent a semi-stub implementation to wine-patches lastweek
but I dont think its correct.

Thanks

this patch will surely not fix the Mozilla problem. Mozilla expects the 
DaylightName <about:blank> member of TIME_ZONE_INFORMATION to be set to 
null-terminated string, that's not done yet.

Not really. There's a function in MSVCRT (*_tzset) *the should call 
GetTimeZoneInformation and fill in _tzname and few other exported 
variables.

Why do you think so?
