Simple: Since Windows will set the hardware clock to local time, simply
tell Linux that the hardware clock does *not* use UTC. Configure the
time zone and DST correctly in both OS's.

Now that Linux and Windows both expect the hardware clock to represent
local time, both will attempt to keep it correct at that setting. No
further problems should occur.

Cheers!
