Format of "__tzinfo_type tzinfo"

[Heiko]

Hello,

I don´t have environment-variables.
In the meantime I set tzinfo in my src:

static __tzinfo_type tzinfo = {1, 0,
    { {'M', 3, 5, 0, 7200, (time_t)0, -3600 },   //CET, March, Last
    week, Sunday, 2:00 o´clock, -1 hour to UTC
      {'M', 10, 5, 0, 10800, (time_t)0, -7200 }  //CET, October, Last
      week, Sunday, 3:00 o´clock, -2 hours to UTC
    } 
};

I also wrote my own tzset().
void tzset (void)
{
  __tzinfo_type *tz = __gettzinfo();      
  __tzcalc_limits (tz->__tzyear);
  _timezone = tz->__tzrule[0].offset;  
  _daylight = tz->__tzrule[0].offset != tz->__tzrule[1].offset;
  _tzname[0] = tz->__tzrule[0].name;
  _tzname[1] = tz->__tzrule[1].name;
  os_mut_release(MUTEX_TIMEZONE); 
}

At the moment, it seems to work. 
Perhaps it will not work if I have no daylight-saving-time. (I must test
it...)
