Usually you will have an environment variable TZ, but at least in
Windows this is not usually well formed and it is basically the most
easy representation without daylight saving.

In my case, Spain, I get TZ=GMT-1 and the right one should be
TZ=CET-1CEST

In my experience is much better to ask the user for the right time
zone based in a bunch of cities, a lot of computers have a wrong time
zone, I saw spanish computers with time zone Mexico, Colombia,
Argentina... The user simply change local time and go on.
