If strftime is anything like it's C counterpart, it works in localtime 
anyway so all you have to do is export an appropriate TZ setting in the 
environment before running.
If you are running a command line program you can just put the 
assignment ahead of the command like:

TZ=EST5EDT date
TZ=CST6CDT date

But, shouldn't ical items be in UTC?
