POSIX says that if TZ is unset, "implementation-defined default
timezone information shall be used"; see
<http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/functions/tzname.html>.
POSIX does not specify the behavior if TZ is set but empty; see
<http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/basedefs/xbd_chap08.html>.
So GNU "date" conforms.
