I have no good solution to this yet. An alternative would be to allow WPKG 
accepting standard and DST times to be correct for date equal comparison on file 
times. But this might have side-effects if the date on the system is offset by 
exactly one hour.

Moreover it leads to additional questions:
- When an "equal" check is done it's unlikely that the comparison returns true 
if the file date is not equal to the comparison date as the offset would have to 
be EXACTLY 1 hour, which is unlikely.

- For older/newer checks this might be an issue as comparison dates are often 
entered very close to the expected file date.

And certainly I won't introduce calls to native libraries just for this "feature".
