[comp.unix.microport] daylight time

Well, Congress' gift to the computer community is on us again.
I've just done the obvious:
  TZ=EDT4
It works, but I find it unaesthetic.  Can anybody think of a way to
get the daylight savings code to work correctly other than fixing
ctime and rebuilding all the utilities (something that mere users
obviously can't do with a binary-only system)?   Maybe some
kind soul at Uport could post, either here or to the Uport bbs,
a script that does appropriate binary patches to all the utilities
that need it.  (Yuck.)
