There's a third and possibly least shitty option that isn't covered in
those threads; We could just make a pass over the strftime format
ourselves and replace %z and %Z with the timezone (as done for
DATE_ISO8601_STRICT in date.c), then hand the rest off to strftime().

I do not know about %Z but certainly for %z that sounds the least
bad.

In a nearby message René seems to have come up with the same idea,
too ;-)
