Need to work around a CRT bug in the use of _tzset() + _tzname[] 
Calling setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "") on a system where GetACP() returns CP_UTF8 results in empty strings in _tzname[].
This causes time.tzname to be an empty string.
I have reported the bug.

One possible workaround is to temporarily change the locale by calling setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "C") before calling _tzset and restore the current locale after if the GetACP() == CP_UTF8 or CP_UTF7
