localtime() converts GMT time to the local timezone.  I have capture
files from another timezone and currently either subtract 3 hours to get
the (true) local day/time or add 4 hours to get GMT.

What is the recommended way to cleanly handle this kind of situation
(ie. not simply requiring the user to change the time on his/her
machine).  I can forsee a simple option to show GMT, but I don't know
the proper way to handle "other timezones."
