 In C_decode_seconds, on platforms that do not consult tm_gmtoff (currently
 everything other than OS X), the local timezone offset is always reported
 in the 10-element time vector.  It should report the offset from UTC (0).
 The attached patch does that.

 This change preserves the "UTC-ness" of the time object so that, if a user
 accepts 10-element time values in his own eggs, he can know the actual
 timezone offset without external help.  I'd like to use this fixed
 behavior in a egg I am working on.

 I think syn is having a somewhat related issue with DST, which we will
 tackle in another ticket.
