Note that the zoneinfo data we have in FreeBSD is exactly the same for GMT and
UTC (minus timezone name differences), as seen below:

: orion:/tmp$ hd /usr/share/zoneinfo/GMT > gmt.txt
: orion:/tmp$ hd /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/UTC > utc.txt
: orion:/tmp$ diff -u gmt.txt utc.txt
: --- gmt.txt     Fri Oct 29 12:18:37 2004
: +++ utc.txt     Fri Oct 29 12:18:48 2004
