GNUstep has problems with certain time zones

[Stefan Bidigaray]

I was going to write a bug report on this, but thought it would be better to post here first.  As a matter of fact, I think I remember reading something similar recently on one of these lists.  Slackware has set my time zone to be "CST", for Central Standard Time in the U.S.  GNUstep doesn't seem to like that!  Now, I know I could just set it to America/Chicago to get the same time zone using the defaults, however, I'm wondering if it wouldn't be more prudent to support some of the more standard time zone strings as well.  I understand EST, CST, MST and PST are only used for the U.S., but seeing as this is what some of the distributions use as their standard (that would be Slackware + derivatives).

I'm on a Debian install (on the same computer) right now, checked, and Debian does use America/Chicago for CST.  So I'm not really sure if that suggestion above would be correct.
