I'm wondering how, for > example, one would add UTC to the list? This paragraph of documentation is very similar to the documentation on the Olson timezone database: ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/data/Theory Names normally have the form AREA/LOCATION, where AREA is the name of a continent or ocean, and LOCATION is the name of a specific location within that region. North and South America share the same area, 'America'. Typical names are 'Africa/Cairo', 'America/New_York', and 'Pacific/Honolulu'. This strongly indicates that zoneinfo-style-world-list just refers to timezone names as listed in that database. Armed with this knowledge, you can try using "Etc/UTC", and browse the database for names of other time zones.
