Summary:                    hwclock arguments -u and -l inverted
Description: 
Given a system with RTC that has the time programmed in UTC, and /etc/TZ
contains EST5EDT... then the following work as expected

# date
Tue Feb  1 14:23:29 EST 2005
# date -u
Tue Feb  1 19:23:30 UTC 2005

The hwclock utility seems to mix up the two cases:
# hwclock
Tue Feb  1 19:22:17 2005  0.000000 seconds
# hwclock -u
Tue Feb  1 14:22:29 2005  0.000000 seconds
# hwclock -l
Tue Feb  1 19:22:44 2005  0.000000 seconds

Normally "hwclock" with no argument prints local time, and with "-u"
should print UTC.  The "-l" option fails to print local time.  Also "-l"
does not exist in the regular hwclock program.

Seems to be platform dependant as well.  The above report was on PPC
target; doing the same on an x86 host behaves a little differently- the
localtime output is correct, but the UTC times are reported with 2x the
time zone applied, eg instead of UTC-5 it prints out UTC-10.
