commit 9f12261f5e81f70a50f29f0a43d487070cfa1ab4
Author: Herbert Valerio Riedel <hvr at gnu.org>
Date:   Sun Oct 12 10:26:50 2014 +0200

    Use `_tzset()` for non-POSIX Windows environments
    
    When compiling with MinGW (which does not provide a full POSIX layer as
    opposed to CygWin) it's better to use the CRT's underscore-prefixed
    `_tzset()` variant to avoid linker issues as Microsoft considers the
    POSIX named `tzset()` function deprecated

    This hopefully addresses #2
