Time Zone Documentation? Just Add Some Comments? #5

Description

Hey. It took me several hours of goofing around to figure out the correct timezone offset to use.

I am in Portland, Oregon, which falls in the "PDT" zone.
For my authenticator to work as expected, I needed to use an offset of -7.
This doesn't match up with what documentation I can find online about how UTC works (like http://www.worldtimezone.com/ for example).
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but a simple commented table like this in the source could help:
// US TIME ZONES with DST in Effect
// PDT (GMT-8)=-7
// MDT (GMT-7)=-6
// CDT (GMT-6)=-5
// EDT (GMT-5)=-4

If nothing else, hopefully anyone else having issues with timezone will be able to find my post and maybe save some time?
