sysctling kern.rtc_offset is absolutely useless. By the time userland
starts up, inittodr() has long since been executed. I don't even
remember if I bothered making the variable writable for just that
reason.

The only reasonable options are patching and using options RTC_OFFSET
I think someone had a program they proposed adding to userland that
would automate the patching process, but its pretty trivial anyway.
