bug#11281: DST has not effect on windows XP when system DST adjustment is disabled

[Shuguang Sun]

I'm using GNU Emacs 24.0.95.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2012-04-02 on
MARVIN on WindowsXP SP3. I believe the issue exists in other version
as well.

In windows,
1. If I select the time zone GMP-5 EST (East Standard Time) and  check
the enable Daylight Saving Time checkbox, the command
display-time-world in emacs can show the time of New York correctly
with DST.
2. If I select the time zone GMP-5 EST (East Standard Time) and
UNCHECK the enable Daylight Saving Time checkbox, or if I select a
time zone without DST, the command display-time-world in emacs can not
show the time of New York correctly with DST.
But actually the display-time-world-list for New York is ("EST5EDT"
"New York"), which (EST5EDT) supposes to enable the Daylight Saving
Time to show the time.

I try the following code to trace the issue:
(setq old-tz (getenv "TZ"))
(setenv "TZ" "EST+5EDT")
(message (format "%s" (getenv "TZ")))
(message (format-time-string "%A %d %B %R %Z"))
(decode-time)
(setenv "TZ" "EST+5")
(message (format "%s" (getenv "TZ")))
(message (format-time-string "%A %d %B %R %Z"))
(decode-time)
(setenv "TZ" old-tz)

The output is (Because I select a timezone without DST in windows, the
time in the outputs is no DST as I described above):
"EST+5EDT"
"Thursday 19 April 11:27 EDT"
(26 27 11 19 4 2012 4 t -18000)

"EST+5"
"Thursday 19 April 11:27 EST"
(34 27 11 19 4 2012 4 nil -18000)

(DST is t if daylight saving time is in effect,otherwise nil.from the
doc of decode-time) From the output of decode-time, it is clear that
if the TZ is set to "EST+5EDT", the DST is effect. So it is most
likely the function format-time-string can not catch this information.
But it is still weird that it DOES has effect if I enable the DST in
the Windows system.
