In the kernel configuration, I gather the first number after
"timezone" indicates what timezone the hardware clock is set to.
What exactly does "dst 1" do though?  In poking around I found it
noted that timezone information, and thus I would assume daylight
savings information, is no longer kept in the kernel.

(I'm speaking from the context of FreeBSD if that matters)
