The %b specifier for format-time-string does not produce abbreviated
month names with consistent widths for some locales on some versions
of Windows. This is caused by a deficiency in the underlying system
library function.

The functions set-time-zone-rule, and display-time-world (which uses it)
do not work on Windows. Fixing this is difficult, since Windows uses
localtime for the system clock, and any attempt to change the timezone
would have to be accompanied by a clock change for the results to remain
consistent. The way in which these functions are used is not intended to
cause such system-wide disruption.

Files larger than 4GB cause overflow in the size (represented as a
32-bit integer) reported by `file-attributes'.  This affects Dired as
well, since the Windows port uses a Lisp emulation of `ls' that relies
on `file-attributes'.

The function set-time-zone-rule gives incorrect results for many
non-US timezones.  This is due to over-simplistic handling of
daylight savings switchovers by the Windows libraries.
