Need timezone feature for bonsai/tinderbox, maybe a dropdown
for an offset that would persist in a cookie.?

After a discussion with Dawn Endico, Chris McAfee, and Asa we deside
to put this off until we have a better understanding of the requirements.
While it would be helpful for people to see times in their local time
there is a worry that this would add to confusion on IM or the telephone
if people use the local time to discribe what they see.

If we use a conditional UI such as a tooltip, I don't think the confusion issue
will be a problem.  We could always try it out and see if users would find this
useful or not.

I just put something in the code.

Now there are several choices of "time column" one displays the
local time on the Tinderbox Webserver (current default) one displays
UTC time (will be handy for compairing time with CVS) one will display
time in the local timezone of the browser. 

This is configured in the usual tinderbox2 ways.
