    pango: Call tzset() before localtime_r()

    POSIX and your local friendly ctime(3) manual entry says that localtime_r
isn't
    required to set the state variables that define the current timezone. 
Indeed,
    glibc (at least 2.9) doesn't do this for subsequent calls.  The effect is
that
    if the system timezone is changed for a running program between two calls
to
    gst_clock_overlay_render_time, it won't be noticed.  For glibc, changing
the
    timezone equals /etc/localtime being modified.

    Fixes bug #587676.
