[date_time] POSIX time zones

Hi, I'm looking at using the Boost date_time library in an upcoming project and found a few inconsistencies when handling POSIX timezones. The date_time library seems to interpret the offset in a POSIX timezone string using the opposite sign as given in the standards. It also appears to use the DST offset as an offset from it's own local time, rather than the offset from UTC as specified in the standard. And obviously when calling to_string() will output the string with the incorrect values, even if you do fudge the values before creating the object. There was another query about this previously that went unanswered: http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2009/11/53828.php Is there anyone maintaining the library, or somewhere to report bugs? Or is it just left as an exercise to the user to change? Thanks.
