Did this years ago by grabbing the local time on the user's system clock (as many don't set their TZ correctly), rounding to the nearest 15 mins, and then guessing their TZ from this. 15 mins because Nepal and a few others of that ilk.
The problem with that in this context is that they expect it to work if the user's clock isn't set accurately.
