On that page i browse to first outside link:

http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm ( Eggert, Paul; Olson, Arthur
David (2007-11-29). Sources for time zone and daylight saving time
data. Retrieved on 2007-12-03. ) ane there there was link to a plugin:

http://kimmo.suominen.com/sw/timezone/ written since WP 1.5 that
state:

This is a plugin for WordPress. It will automatically set the weblog
time offset based on the time zone of the server, or using an explicit
TZ value. The main purpose of this plugin is to allow automatic DST
handling.

Looks like someone alredy inveted this wheel... and he said nothing :P
