Hello All,

In order to make it easier for nodelist clerks to synchronise their efforts
across time zones, I suggest the following;


UseUTC (0/1)    (default 0)


This instructs MakeNl to use UTC instead of local time to determine the day
of the week and other time related issues.

E.G. When it is Thursday 21:00 local time and it is Friday 01:00 UTC,
Makenl will act as if is is run on Friday and use the day of the week
number corresponding to Friday.


In some cases, it may be necessary to override the OS's and/or compiler's
time functions. So I suggest the following option:


UseTZUTC (0/1)  (default 0)

Use the TZUTC environment variable to derive UTC from local time, instead
of using the value supplied by the OS and/or the compiler's library
functions.


Cheers, Michiel
