[Coco] NitrOS-9/OS-9 feature suggestion

[K. Pruitt]

So New Zealand is +12:45 minutes off of GMT.

Couldn't be off on the hour, or even the half hour. Had to be off on the 
three quarters of the hour mark.

Way to make things difficult, New Zealand.

How does Linux store basic time zone info and also does Linux now store 
location info (lat and long coordinates)?
