BTW, does anyone remember the reason for making "GMT" nonlocalizable
in these messages? It seems more straightforward to do

(errmsg("could not determine system time zone, defaulting to \"GMT\""),

I suppose we had a reason for doing it the first way but I can't see
what. "GMT" seems a fairly English-centric way of referring to UTC
anyhow; translators might wish to put in "UTC" instead, or some other
spelling. Shouldn't we let them?
