> FWIW, the last line in /etc/localtime seems in proper format for the TZ variable (that is, export TZ=`tail -n 1 /etc/localtime` should give you a valid POSIX timezone). I don't know why there's so much more cruft, and I've only checked with my timezone.

that's not always true as the posix tz format
cannot represent any timezone
in my tzdata files these are counter examples:
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Israel
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Iran
/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Argentina/San_Luis
/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Santiago
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Egypt
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Chile/Continental
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Chile/EasterIsland
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Antarctica/Palmer
