I am now unsure if the bug lies with swi-prolog or haiku, because running
"TZ=CEST date" does indeed show me a date in CEST, but "TZ=CET" does not
seem to do anything, while "TZ=CET+00:00" causes the swi-prolog tests to
pass even though they complain about not getting the expected output. I'm
not sure I understand the function of TZ well enough to know what to do
about this, but this bug report does indeed seem to be incorrect, or at
least about the wrong thing.

swi-prolog is building for you now.. so I guess you know the test that is
failing - the tests in 'library.pl' which check the output format of
various date/time functions. In the main testing script (run by make
check) TZ is set to "CET".
