Yes. It's probably system dependent and something not actually defined by the
POSIX standard. For multi-user systems, it would make sense for time-stamps
to be in UTC, whereas, for single-user systems (e.g. AmigaOS, BeOS,
Windows?), time-stamps in the local timezone would be more appropriate.

I'll have to check on BeOS. If stat() returns local time-stamps, then the
conversion won't be necessary there. It's certainly not necessary for
AmigaOS, and I guess probably not Windows (since nobody has attempted to fix
this problem in WinUAE, I guess it doesn't occur there).
