DST should be 0... it tells whether your clock is set to standard time or 
daylight savings time. You'll have to change it to 1 in April, when the 
switch to DST occurs.

Which reminds me... could DST and TIMEZONE (or at least DST) be made into 
a sysctl? It's annoying to have to recompile a kernel just because of a 
DST change. (I run DOS/Windoze stuff, so I can't just set my clock to UTC
and leave it that way)
