bug report: ENCODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME effectively ignores TIME-ZONE argument

[Robert Dodier]

A contributor to the Maxima project bumped into this while trying
Maxima + ABCL 1.4.0.

CL-USER(1): (ENCODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME 48 1 15 15 8 1995 -23)
3017516508
CL-USER(2): (ENCODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME 48 1 15 15 8 1995 -13)
3017516508
CL-USER(3): (ENCODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME 48 1 15 15 8 1995 13)
3017516508
CL-USER(4): (ENCODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME 48 1 15 15 8 1995 23)
3017516508
CL-USER(5): (ENCODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME 48 1 15 15 8 1995 'foo)
3017516508

Not too surprising, I think -- a glance at
./src/org/armedbear/lisp/time.lisp shows that the TIME-ZONE argument
doesn't take part in the calculations.

TIME-ZONE does come into play in pre-14840 versions of time.lisp and the
results are consistent with other CL implementations, at least for the
examples exercised by the Maxima test suite (date parsing).

Tried to submit a bug report via Trac but when I clicked on the OpenID
button I get a connection reset error.

Thanks for all your efforts, I appreciate it.
