The patch I have attached adds the possibility to have the offset calculated 
automatically.

Yes, this is still there.



With this patch you can either disable the offsetcalculation, you can set it 
to 'Auto' or you can overide your timezone manually.

For the credits:
Many thanks to Stefan Frank (sfr) who had the idea and who implemented a first 
patch for this. I improved his patch so that it is now configurable and 
additionally I moved the calculation out of the function that is called over 
and over again.

take care, have fun
