Earlier versions of Cygwin allowed to link against a very old,
very non-standard, timezone() function.  Since Cygwin 1.5.25,
the timezone() function is only available as exported symbol for
old applications built against earlier Cygwin release.

For new applications, timezone is only available as variable of
type long, according to POSIX.  See

  http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/timezone.html

I assume that HDF5 special cases the usage of timezone as being a
function for Cygwin.  Remove this code and use the timezone variable as
on other POSIX compliant systems.  Make sure that <time.h> gets included
before using the timezone variable.
