Hmm, shouldn't we synch up with the Unix env instead? I assume this info is available in the Unix env... This would be preferable even in the case of a shared Windows install, me thinks.

Dimitrie, if you know of a decent way to get this information from the Unix environment that would certainly the best.
In discussions over the years on this subject, the consensus was more or less that there is not any and that we need this registry information somehow.
The last discussion was in March this year, in a thread under the subject "[RESENT] TIME_GetBias". In particular I am more or less following the idea in this post: http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-devel/2004/03/0363.html
It may still be possible that in the end I may be able to link a Unix timezone in the form "Europe/Amsterdam" to the Windows TimeZoneInformation, making certain things go automatic, but that belongs to ideas that I'm still playing with.
Rein.
