Hello All,

In order to make it easier for nodelist clerks to synchronise their efforts 
across time zones, I suggest the following;


UseUTC (0/1)    (default 0)


This instructs MakeNl to use UTC instead of local time to determine the day of 
the week and other time related issues.

E.G. When it is Thursday 21:00 local time and it is Friday 01:00 UTC, Makenl 
will act as if is is run on Friday and use the day of the week number 
corresponding to Friday.


In some cases, it may be necessary to override the OS's and/or compiler's time 
functions. So I suggest the following option:


UseTZUTC (0/1)  (default 0)

Use the TZUTC environment variable to derive UTC from local time, instead of 
using the value supplied by the OS and/or the compiler's library functions.


Cheers, Michiel
