openembedded/conf/tinder.conf:

    -Document the TINDER_TZ Option. It can either be Europe/Berlin (no kidding)
     or a timedelty (e.g. +0200)
openembedded/classes/tinderclient.bbclass:
    -Send timenow as UTC + TINDER_TZ offset
    -Parse and send starttime as time + UTC
     (either set TINDER_START with gmtime or use the most recent
      bitbake from trunk for having BUILDSTART as UTC time)
