I've since done some more reading about this, and it appears to be
hopeless.

Windows NT did have code in the kernel to use UTC as the system clock,
but it was taken out of their test routine after NT 3.51 and never
really worked right.

According to what I've read, even Windows Vista remains unable to use a
UTC system clock.

It's so annoying...
