[bug #30026] Unknown time zone name `PST'

[Sergey Golovin]

Follow-up Comment #13, bug #30026 (project gnustep):

Sorry for the late response.

I had the problem on Ubuntu with time zone detecting for 
SYSTEM_TIME_FILE (/etc/localhost) was copied (not symlinked) 
by Gnome. The time zone can be detected even with my time zone
abbreviation (which haven't the univocal correspondence with
the time zone name) by comparing SYSTEM_TIME_FILE with the list of
zoneinfo files. The file list can be built from the time zone
names list for such time zone abbreviation (e.g. SAMT is valid for
Pacific/Samoa, Pacific/Pago_Pago, Pacific/Apia, Asia/Samarkand, 
Europe/Samara, US/Samoa). 

The patch implements this approach. 
It can slow down time zone detecting due to calling of 
[NSTimeZone abbreviationMap] so the patch emits the log message 
about how to elaborate this by setting of the environment.
