No change has been made to this area of the code in Cygwin and Cygwin
doesn't recognize CET and CEST alone. It needs the /usr/share/zoneinfo
directory for that, otherwise it generates a TZ name from the Windows
TZ name (something like MET/MEST).
However, looking into /usr/share/zoneinfo I see a CET zone, but not a
CEST zone. I'm not sure "CEST" is valid at all. Valid expressions are
in any case
TZ=CET-1CEST
TZ=Europe/Berlin
