Summary: address test_time.py failures under Redhat 6.2

Initial Comment:
A mangled version of this patch is also in bug:
    http://www.python.org/sf/728051

Looks like tzset(3) is broken under Redhat 6.2 in a way
that wasn't being detected by configure. This
patch adds stricter tzset(3) checking to configure.in.

This patch has only been tested under OS X.

I'm confident that it won't break other platforms.

I have no real way of proving that it addresses the problem it is 
supposed to solve, however, as I don't have access to a box that 
fails the tzset test in test_time.py.

The only reported platform that this is failing on is at
http://www.python.org/sf/728051, so we could just flag this
test as expected to fail on that platform, if someone knows how
to do that.

Stuart, what boxes did you test this on?  How confident are
you that this won't break some other platform?  I'm asking
to try to determine if this should go into 2.3final (we only
have 1 release candidate before release) or if this should
wait for 2.3.1.  Thanks for all your work on tzset.
