Just professional curiosity, how would you define

Presumably the same way the computer does it; provide a location such as
'Europe/Berlin' or 'America/Los_Angeles' and let the C library look in
its big
list of locales.
Oh, goody, more things for you devs to keep in sync when a country
arbitrarilty decides to massively redefine the period over which Summer
Time is set. Not that any country would ever do that. :-)
