Comment (by Otto42):

 To demonstrate how such functionality would work, I coded up a quick
 plugin. You can find it here:

 http://ottodestruct.com/wpstuff/timezone.php

 It requires PHP 5.1 or up. Features:
  * Won't activate if your version of PHP cannot support it (this could be
 prettier, admittedly).
  * If you have PHP 5.2 or up, it will give you extra information about
 when DST will start/end (needs the timezone_transitions_get function in
 5.2 to work).
  * Overrides the gmt_offset entirely with a pre_option. You'll notice that
 when it's activated and set, you will be unable to change the offset
 setting and have it stick.
