Simple: Unset TZ for Win32 programs run from Cygwin.
More flexible: Set (unset) TZ=CYGWIN_WINENV_TZ if this variable is
set (to empty). Otherwise keep TZ as is.
would a patch for any of the above have a chance to get accepted?
If it's not getting too complicated, yes. However, the second idea
I don't understand. Can you explain this differently?
Let another variable change the value passed to Windows environment:
$ printenv TZ
Europe/Berlin
$ cmd /c echo %TZ%
Europe/Berlin
$ export CYGWIN_WINENV_TZ=CET-1CEST
$ printenv TZ
Europe/Berlin
$ cmd /c echo %TZ%
CET-1CEST
$ export CYGWIN_WINENV_TZ=
$ cmd /c echo %TZ%
%TZ% (which means TZ is not set)
