Should work correctly as putenv(unconst("TZ=GMT0",char*) used! 
Myabe should add putenv()/getenv() test comparison or switch to using
setenv() as below?

These tests currently assume tz files installed, could change to using
TZ variable as in strftime test program and strftimt test 31. 
But I don't understand why strftime test program failed but strftimt
test 31 passed? 
Only difference seems to be use of setenv() instead of putenv() but
either should give the same result. 

Could try patching strftime test program to use setenv() instead of
putenv() and specify normal TZ env vars in strftimt. 

I think I should first check out what the library is doing when there
are no files or env vars.
