Oh, sure.  I guess I was thinking of a more robust solution, that
wouldn't require editing that line when my timezone changes twice a
year.  :-)

I.e., 
 %(pretty{text})%(void(zone{text}))%<(ne 
void(localzone{text})%(void(szone{text}))%<(eq 1) (Local: 
%(date2local{text})%(day{text}) %(hour{text}):%02(min{text}) %(tzone{text}))%>%>
