Comment (by mythtv@…):

 A correctly specified time includes the time zone as the last thing in the
 string (either abbreviated like CST or UTC, or as an offset from UTC like
 -06), so when it's read in it's simply converted to the system time zone;
 all time values in memory are kept in system time. If no time zone is
 specified the local time zone is assumed. If a station doesn't specify the
 time zone and it's not using local time, it's just plain buggy. Qt's time
 classes have built-in support to handle all of the conversion.
