		 * more than 13 hours from GMT, which is 52*15min.
		 * The time is always stored in localtime with the
		 * timezone offset being what get added to GMT to
		 * get to localtime.  Thus we need to subtract the offset
		 * to get to true GMT, which is what we store the time
		 * as internally.  On the local system, the user may set
		 * their timezone any way they wish, of course, so GMT
		 * gets converted back to localtime on the receiving
		 * system.
		 *
		 * NOTE: mkisofs in versions prior to mkisofs-1.10 had
		 * the sign wrong on the timezone offset.  This has now
		 * been corrected there too, but if you are getting screwy
		 * results this may be the explanation.  If enough people
		 * complain, a user configuration option could be added
		 * to add the timezone offset in with the wrong sign
		 * for 'compatibility' with older discs, but I cannot see how
		 * it will matter that much.
		 *
		 * Thanks to kuhlmav@elec.canterbury.ac.nz (Volker Kuhlmann)
		 * for pointing out the sign error.
