I'm programming on WindowsXP home. The time (the clock on my tackbar) is 
set on GMT+1 (I live in France), but I also use the auto adjusting for 
summer time and winter time (so I'm GMT+1 during the winter, and GMT+2 
during summer). So it looks like my system is well configured.
Code example:

import std.c.time;
import std.date;
int main(char[][] args)
{
     char[] thetime = toTimeString(UTCtoLocalTime(getUTCtime()));
     printf("Local time: " ~ thetime);
     char[] thetime2 = toTimeString(getUTCtime());
     printf("\nUTC time: " ~ thetime2);
     return 0;
}

Output:
Local time: 18:34:33 GMT+0200
UTC time: 16:34:33 GMT+0200
Press any key to continue.

(It is now 16h35, so the Local time is shift from +2 hours)
