Oops... overzealeous trimming of the actual patch file I generated
which included all the changes to 'configure' generated by autoconf.

Patch including config.h.in changes below.

Test against the unpatched database, local timezone is "Australian EST"
i.e. GMT+10:

$ psql -c "select 'Jun 6 02:34:32 EST 2001'::datetime" template1
?column?
------------------------
2001-06-06 17:34:32+10
(1 row)

Notice the returned time is different to the input time. Against
the patched database:

psql -c "select 'Jun 6 02:34:32 EST 2001'::datetime" template1
?column?
------------------------
2001-06-06 02:34:32+10
(1 row)

Cheers,
