I tried this, basically changing to:
#ifndef WIN32
if (strcmp(TZABBREV(cbuf), pgtm->tm_zone) != 0)
{
elog(DEBUG4, "Reject TZ \"%s\": at %ld
\"%s\" versus \"%s\"",
tzname, (long) pgtt,
pgtm->tm_zone, cbuf);
return false;
}
#endif

This is what you meant, rihgt?

It does *not* pick up my timezone. The following possibilities are
rejected per:
DEBUG: Reject TZ "Europe/Stockholm": at 16844400 1970-07-15 00:00:00
std versus 1970-07-15 01:00:00 dst
DEBUG: Reject TZ "CET": at 16844400 1970-07-15 00:00:00 std versus
1970-07-15 01:00:00 dst
DEBUG: Reject TZ "MET": at 16844400 1970-07-15 00:00:00 std versus
1970-07-15 01:00:00 dst
DEBUG: Reject TZ "Etc/GMT-1": at 16844400 1970-07-15 00:00:00 std
versus 1970-07-15 01:00:00 dst

It didn't pick it up before either, but it didn't get better.

Would probably be good if someone where it actally picks up the correct
timezone could test this as well. Or if someone knows a TZ that matches
and I can change my syste mtemporarily. Just don't want to have to test
through each and every timezone..
