Might be easier to just have AS make the changes by coding
around it (convert the %T to %H:%M:%S and grab the tz offset
from the registry
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation\ActiveTimeBias)
and format it to %z format (%+02d%02u, $atb / 60, $atb % 60 or whatever).

Pretty simple change if someone has the time/access.
