There were a couple of loopholes in my recent one-liner gmtdate(1)
posting.  My thanks to reader Geoff Clare <gwc@root.co.uk> for his
careful attention to things my addled brain didn't notice.

This version (a) exports the TZ correctly for weird Bourne shells, (b)
survives British Summer Time right, and (c) handles date(1) formats with
embedded blanks - quite important.
