Make default timezone (for site visitors) configurable

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have a bar at the bottom of each of my news and blog posts, stating when it's 
published. With version 0.7, I can now show both date and time (thanks for 
that). However, visitors of the website (that haven't logged into the cms) are 
shown the time in a default timezone (GMT I believe).

I would like for that default timezone to be configurable, so I can set it to 
my own timezone.

Example: http://www.turvytopsystudio.com/news/1408101927-test-news
In the above test news post, the time at the bottom will say 17:27 for all 
visitors that aren't logged in. But it will say 19:27 when I'm logged in (with 
an account with timezone GMT+1, +1 hour daylight saving time). I should be able 
to configure it, so that it will say 19:27 for visitors too.

related possible issue: with daylight saving time (DST), timezones can be 'off' 
by one hour. Is this handled correctly with old posts, or will old posts have a 
different creation time in the summer, than in the winter. For instance, when I 
post a news item on 19:27 and DST is in effect, will it show up as being posted 
on 18:27 when DST is NOT in effect, or will it be properly handled and always 
show 19:27?

just to clarify, let me rewrite the very last sentence, to be more clear:
"For instance, when I post a news item on 19:27 and DST is in effect, will it 
show up as being posted on 18:27 during the 6 months that DST is NOT in effect, 
or will it be properly handled and always show 19:27 the whole year round?"
