UTC is (essentially) the same as GMT, and never has daylight savings;
it's the basis for all world time.  (See
http://www.hermit.org/Eclipse/when_time.html for insane detail.)

You got me.  My server, on Windows, seemed to adjust automatically; but
someone else will have to tell us how it knows what your country's
daylight savings rules are.
