 Modified Files:
 	src/lib/libutil: parsedate.y
 
 Log Message:
 Improved handling of local times.
 
 * A magic value USE_LOCAL_TIME (defined as 99999) may be passed as the
   Timezone to Convert(), instructing it to use mktime() to work
   in the local time zone, instead of using mktime_z to work in UTC
   (and then adding the specified timezone offset).
 * Some old code is removed now that there's no need to find the local
   timezone offset.
 * Allow either one or both of the now and zone arguments to
   parsedate() to be NULL, treating them independently.  Previously,
   if either one was NULL, the other was ignored.
 * If the zone argument is specified, then the current date is calculated
   in the specified zone, not in local time.
 
 Also add some disabled debug code.
 
 This should fix PR lib/47916.
