If I remember correctly, that was the root of our problems.
When TIMEZONE was set correctly,
and we were currently in DST mode,
mktime would _always_ apply DST corrections,
even if the passed-in time was something else,
even if you set tm_isdst=0 etc.

Again, the constant avoided all these issues,
so why did we fix what wasn't broken?
