[Emacs-diffs] master 6b98576: Port angle-bracket TZ settings to MS-Windows

[Paul Eggert]

branch: master
commit 6b985764f07ae164d8142ba64774f2beb2856ca8
Author: Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
Commit: Paul Eggert <address@hidden>

    Port angle-bracket TZ settings to MS-Windows
    
    * doc/lispref/os.texi (Time Zone Rules): Document MS-Windows
    lack of support for numeric time zone abbreviations.
    * src/w32.c (sys_putenv): Convert angle-bracket TZ syntax
    to MS-compatible syntax if possible, and to "ZZZ" otherwise.
    Problem reported by Kazuhiro Ito (Bug#23600).
