Comment(by ryan):

 Patch removes Etc from the list of zones.  UTC and Manual Offset zones are
 added instead.  gmt_offset is mapped to one of the manual offset when
 displaying the dropdown.  When saving the options, the manual offset is
 mapped back to gmt_offset.  If timezone_string in the DB is set to an Etc
 zone, timezone_string is set to an empty string so that we fallback to
 gmt_offset.  We might also want to add some upgrade code that removes Etc
 zones when upgrading so that gmt_offset is used instead.
