It depends upon how time.localtime() works... the strings are actually
generated in status.html.WaterfallStatusResource.phase2, around line 1149.

If someone can figure out how to ask the 'time' module for an abbreviation of
the time zone it's using, I'll add it to the 'time' box. I end up wondering
about this all the time.. the Twisted buildslave is not in my home timezone,
but I never remember that when I look at the page and am curious about how
long ago the build took place. I can compare the event timestamps against the
"this page built at.." note at the bottom of the page, but a simple
"time(CST)" would be a bit easier to use.

thanks,
