Re: cygcheck's understanding of TZ

Aren't standard TZ names contained in the /usr/share/zoneinfo structure? In that directory I see posix/Europe/Monaco. So I set:

$ export TZ=Europe/Monaco
$ date
16:46:08 CEST; Tuesday, June 14, 2011
$ export TZ=America/Detroit
$ date
10:46:48 EDT; Tuesday, June 14, 2011

Except for this using my homegrown format for date I think this works (and personally I rather like my invention... :-).
