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)
