Comment(by ryan):

 Summary of latest patch:

  * If timezone_string is set, make that the default timezone in wp-
 settings.php
  * If timezone_string is not set, make UTC the default timezone.  This way
 we can add our offsets.
  * If running a version of PHP without timezone support, no default can be
 set.
  * In current_time(), add the offset if timezone_string is not set or if
 the PHP version does not support timezones.
  * If the default timezone is set, do not add offsets since date(),
 gmdate(), etc. do the right thing for us.
  * Add compate_date() to work around the differences between the old
 assumptions and the new.  Only touch_time() uses this at the moment. There
 may be a way to update touch_time() to work correctly either way without
 an ugly workaround.
  * current_time() is used in more places.
