Does anyone have a convenient way to construct the value for the VxWorks
TIMEZONE environment variable? It looks something like this
"TIMEZONE=PDT::480:040305:103005"

Note that this value for the vxWorks TIMEZONE variable is wrong - the
last two digits in each triplet tell vxWorks the _hour_ of the change,
not the year, thus they should almost always be 02 since most states
change to/from summer time at 2am.
The format is described in the configure/CONFIG_SITE_ENV file of most
recent R3.14 releases.
