From 7243403b2718de5237410d322164090813cfd19d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

Subject: (universal_time): Remove; it's just a temptation to do the wrong
 thing. (main): The -u option now just sets TZ; it doesn't do anything else.
 (show_date): Do not do anything special if -u is set. This affects the
 behavior of the -I and -R options.
