      /*! @param t UTC time to calculate offset to local time
       *  This adjustment depends on the following observations about the
       *  workings of the DST boundary offset.  Since UTC time labels are
       *  monotonically increasing we can determine if a given local time
       *  is in DST or not and therefore adjust the offset appropriately.
       * 
       *  The logic is as follows.  Starting with UTC time use the offset to
       *  create a label for an non-dst adjusted local time.  Then call
       *  dst_rules::local_is_dst with the non adjust local time.  The
       *  results of this function will either unabiguously decide that
       *  the initial local time is in dst or return an illegal or
       *  ambiguous result.  An illegal result only occurs at the end
       *  of dst (where labels are skipped) and indicates that dst has
       *  ended.  An ambiguous result means that we need to recheck by
       *  making a dst adjustment and then rechecking.  If the dst offset
       *  is added to the utc time and the recheck proves non-ambiguous
       *  then we are past the boundary.  If it is still ambiguous then
       *  we are ahead of the boundary and dst is still in effect.
       *
       *  TODO -- check if all dst offsets are positive.  If not then
       *  the algorithm needs to check for this and reverse the 
       *  illegal/ambiguous logic.
