I was thinking of something a bit more general: temporarily set the time 
zone before calling the underlying strftime, and reset it afterwards. 
This of course won't work in a multithreaded system without some 
locking, but we can either add the locking or not bother.

time_rz.c already does this sort of thing, and I suppose it could export 
its secrets to nstrftime.c.
