Summary: time.tzset() not built on Solaris

Initial Comment:
The time.tzset() function is not included in Solaris
builds, because the code in configure.in that checks
for the existence of tzset() relies on struct tm having
a tm_zone member - which Solaris does not have (at
least not up to 2.8).

The attached patch to configure.in allows Solaris to
detect the existence of tzset() and Python builds OK,
and the resulting time.tzset() function seems to work
just fine.
