Performs the same function as \code{parsedate()}, but returns either
\code{None} or a 10-tuple; the first 9 elements make up a tuple that
can be passed directly to \code{time.mktime()}, and the tenth is the
offset of the date's time zone from UTC (which is the official term
for Greenwich Mean Time).

\begin{funcdesc}{mktime_tz}{tuple}
Turn a 10-tuple as returned by \code{parsedate_tz()} into a UTC timestamp.
Minor deficiency: this first interprets the first 8 elements as a
local time and then compensates for the timezone difference;
this may yield a slight error around daylight savings time
switch dates. Not enough to worry about for common use.
