Can't this (and its extension in a subsequent commit) be written in
terms of, or replaced by, format-time-string?

(format-time-string "%:z" nil  3600) ; => "+01:00"
(format-time-string "%:z" nil -7200) ; => "-02:00"
(format-time-string "%z"  nil  3600) ; => "+0100"
(format-time-string "%z"  nil -7200) ; => "-0200"

Thanks,
