Yes and no ... the NSDateFormatter code in GNUstep-base implements the original
OSX class, and this had no method to set the time zone.
Apple added a load of new methods in OSX 10.4 which would (among other things)
allow you to set a time zone, but nobody has contributed those updates : -(
I'd be grateful if you wanted to contribute the new methods from OSX 10.4, but
I would expect those to be implemented by using the existing methods of
NSCalendarDate ... so the mechanism you have found now would be the 'best'
anyway.
