NM just gained the ability to support static routes from DHCP
(http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2007-November/msg00173.html),
if anyone's interested in adding time zone support, using that patch
as a template should make it pretty easy. The only tricky part may be
the actual setting of the time zone in such a way that it would work
on all distros.
