In my warning message sent to current@ saying this was in the works I
had asked for thoughts on whether or not to "clean up" the code,
more or less doing "s/gmt/utc/g".  Those who sent in thoughts were
divided roughly half in favor, half against.  I couldn't decide if
the cleanliness was worth the size of the diff so I did my usual
thing when confused about cleanliness and/or style issues - I asked
bde at .  :-)

Bruce pointed out several things but the kicker was that this code
originally came from an import from a vendor branch.  We import the
time zone data from that source fairly frequently.  We import the
time zone code far less frequently.  But a gratuitous sweep through
changing lots of variable/function names would make future code imports
unnecessarily harder.  So I'll leave it as-is.

Thanks again Bruce. :-)
