Linux systems can (and a lot do) have their system type (in the hardware 
clock) set to GMT. Localtime is calculated from the timezone when you 
call the gettimeofday function. This in IMHO is much better than windows 
broken system of actualy moving the clock forwards and back for 
daylight-savings.

This does mean that the above assumption could be wrong on linux, where 
the default with no timezone could be GMT.
