Master on Windows 10

[Robert Fewell]

Just checked all four systems, both Linux systems are Gentoo based with a
timezone of 'Europe/London', used date +'%:z %Z' which returned +01:00 BST
for both.

XP VM has time zone of '(GMT) Casablanca' with DST ticked and Windows10 is
'(UTC) Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London' with DST ticked. All systems
synced to a NTP clock.

So there appears to be a discrepancy between Linux and windows stored
date-times unless I am confused ?
