Can we be sure that the daylight offset is always and everywhere
60 minutes?  Also it conforms to "standard US daylight savings
time rules" -- whatever that may be.

I experimented with gmtime, mktime and difftime:

    gtm = gmtime(&tt);
    gt = mktime(gtm);
    seconds = (long int) difftime(tt, gt);
    fprintf(stderr, "\nseconds: %li\n", seconds);
    hours = seconds/3600;
    minutes = (labs(seconds) - (abs(hours) * 3600L))/60;
    sprintf (&time_str[size], "%+03i'%02d'", hours, minutes);

But seconds is 3600 while it should be 7200. :-(

I also tried leaving out the tz information in /CreationDate by
setting O to Z and leaving out the offset; but AR5 ignores any
offset and interprets the time as CEST. :-(

Best regards
        Martin
