Summary: no way to get Time zone out of wxDateTime

Initial Comment:
I saw the following workaround posted in an earlier bug:

localTimeZone = atoi( wxDateTime::Now().Format(
"%z").c_str()) / 100;

But it doesn't work on my system because the %z paramater gives a long timezone name.

All you really need is the ability to get the timezone offset in minutes from GMT.  One paramter.
