Dunno about V6/V7/2BSD, but Ultrix-11 uses the "last modified" date-stamp
from the root file system (inode 1; /) to save/restore the last known
date.  Kinda works, and better than having a system run in 1970 initially :)
Still, TZ info is stored im the kernel.  Would be nice to have that in
user space, too...
