I think we can assume that the user has their time and timezone set
correctly on their own machine.  If not, it is OK if the script prints
wrong time-related results, just like the rest of Nmap (and their
other software) will.  If the user cares about this, hopefully they
will set their system time properly (or run NTP themselves).
