How do you find the timezone on Free/Open BSD? What we need for timezone
support is some way to obtain, from the operating system, the correct timezone
name (eg. GB-Eire or Europe/Rome)
There's no standard way to do that, so we already have system-specific code to
get the info via the most common methods, and there's no real reason we can't
add more for other OS's.

No, cygwin's an unsupported system so cannot be blocking ... but it would be
great if some cygwin user could contribute cygwin specific code to support
those features.
