I'm starting to think the Python time module is as badly broken as 
pywin32's time object :)  This blog entry has some insight and I expect 
Windows works exactly the same as described for Linux (ie, incorrectly 
in the southern hemisphere).  I expect win32timezone will be able to 
help, but I'm out of time for now...
