[wp-hackers] Changing the clock format in Write > Post

[Otto]

I've seen Kimmo's timezone plugin. It's fine, but could stand some
improvement. Also, it relies wholly on the underlying Linux system
being able to handle it, it won't work on Windows boxes.

PHP5 has better timezone handling built into it, and so I'm using
that. I'm using a similar technique as Kimmo's plugin for PHP4, but
having trouble with it on some setups. Needs more testing.

The latest version of my timezone plugin is here:
