For me, on Win2K and WinNT, the TZ env variable seems to be created out of
thin-air within Cygwin bash. In cmd.exe `echo %TZ%` does not elicit a
result but under Cygwin bash `echo $TZ` does.
I *assumed* that it was created for me by Cygwin (or bash or something)
because I have my computer set with the BIOS clock on GMT and time zone
settings in the Date/Time control panel set to GMT + auto daylight saving.
