Public bug reported:

In the 1.4 RC, htdocs/lib/upgrade.php checks to see that strftime('%z')
returns a "+" followed by four digits.  However, the timezone offset can
start with a "-" as well. So, for example, someone running Mahara in the
US will be told that their PHP is not returning a useful timezone
offset, but it in fact is.  The timezone offset in California, for
example, during this time of year is -0700.
