New issue 48 by schwern: Test that localtime64, ctime64 and mktime64 honor
TZ and set external variables

POSIX sez that localtime, ctime and mktime should all act as if they called
tzset.
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399/functions/tzset.html

This means the external variables daylight, tzname and daylight should be
set and it should honor any changes to TZ.

This was discovered not to be so, they were hastily patched. Time::y2038
tests that its localtime() honors TZ but doesn't test any of the rest.

Write tests for localtime64, ctime64 and mktime64 to check that they honor
TZ changes and set external variables.
