Emacs 24.5 can treat "JST-9" correctly but not for "<JST-9>",
emacs-25 shows the same result as trunk.

(list
  (progn (set-time-zone-rule "<AAA>-1")

emacs-25 branch
-> ((32400 "JST") (0 "GMT") (32400 "JST") (32400 "JST") (32400 "JST"))

emacs-25 branch with sys_putenv patch and trunk
-> ((3600 "AAA") (0 "GMT") (3600 "AAA") (36000 "ZZZ") (32400 "JST"))


(list (progn (set-time-zone-rule "GMT0")
 	     (current-time-zone))
      (progn (set-time-zone-rule "BBB-2")
 	     (current-time-zone))
      (progn (set-time-zone-rule "<JST>-9")
 	     (current-time-zone)))

24.5 pre-built binary
-> ((0 "GMT") (7200 "BBB") (3600 "T>-"))
