Comment(by Otto42):

 Here's a second patch, which adds the same stuff as the etc patch, along
 with the ability to display more information about the Daylight Savings
 rules of the selected timezone. I'm not sure exactly how best to display
 this information to the user though.

 It displays two things:
 a) Whether the selected timezone is currently in daylight savings or
 standard time.
 b) When the switchover to the other will occur (in that local time), or if
 the timezone does not do daylight savings at all.

 Suggestions on how to display this info better would be appreciated.

 Note that the patch only adds this information if the
 timezone_transitions_get() function exists, which means only PHP 5.2 and
 up will show the info. Older PHP's will show nothing.
