Q2.1.19: SXEmacs does not follow the local timezone.

When using one of the prebuilt binaries many users have observed that SXEmacs uses the timezone under which it was built, but not the timezone under which it is running. The solution is to add:

(set-time-zone-rule "MET")

to your init.el or the site-start.el file if you can. Replace MET with your local timezone.
