<time.h> is present in *nix, Windows, and probably everywhere php runs.
As it provides mktime/gmtime/localtime, it should be possible to
portably deal with timezones.
At least when it's not multithreaded.
And if the host doesn't contain timezone data (embedded systems,
perhaps), that "System" zone
could simply default to UTC.
