annotate HACKING @ 22868:8dadddab10ed

Fix purple_str_to_time() to not break the returned value when we have given it a string with a GMT offset (like a log filename). We were setting tm_isdst to 0 when we knew the offset. Apparently, mktime() said, "Umm, yes, it is DST." and fixed it by shifting the hour. The fix is to tell the C library (by setting tm_isdst to -1) that we're sure of the time, but not the DST status. Hopefully this doesn't break any other code path. Fixes #3550
