Thinking about it a little more, it is possible to achieve with
current Lire altough not very practical. 

The idea is that we honor the TZ environment variable, that the
timestamp are stored in epoch format (which is GMT-based) and that
the parsing of the log file and the report generation are split.

So you could generate the DLF (distilled log format) from which
we generate the report with a different TZ (the one of the server) than
when you generate the report (TZ set to your timezone). Unfortunately,
you would need to run the DLF converter (combined2dlf, common2dlf, etc.)
yourself and use the "primitive" lr_dlf2xml command to generate the
report from it.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestion.
