How about a command line option to adjust the file times by a specified
amount?  Then you could use local time on machines that don't know GMT
and still be able to fix things if you want to install on a machine in
another time zone or one that does know GMT.  After all, if you don't
know how much the time is off, then it probably doesn't really matter.
