[Zope] date format in other time-zone

[Alexander Staubo]

Like so, for example:

	<dtml-var "MyDate.toZone('GMT')" fmt="ISO">

Date-time math is very simple with Zope's DateTime objects. DateTime
supports fractional, C-type clock values -- 1.0 is one day, 0.5 is half
a day, 1 / 24.0 ~= 0.0416 is one hour. So,

	<dtml-var "(ZopeTime() + 1).toZone('GMT+5')" fmt="ISO">

gives you the time tomorrow, adjusted to GMT+5. You can use named time
zones such as "US/Eastern".
