  I grew up in Indiana and I can assure you that you do not want the try and
come up with automatic time zone changing. The best way that I have found
to handle TZ's is to run the clock at GMT and have a time zone variable
that adjusts the clock to your local time. That way you need only update the
variable when you move or change zones. If your really fancy you can handle
all 26 time zones plus the few "1/2 hour" zones that exist.
