I need to convert it in a SysTime object.

My problem is that from documentation I can't understand how to 
set +01:00 timezone on systime. I guess I'm missing something...

It does make sense, right? SysTime is object representing your 
system's time, and naturally it already has timezone set to the 
right (system) value.

But SysTime has a c-tor that accepts a TimeZone, how can I set 
that?
Anyway, If i'm not wrong, it's the only object with TimeZone 
support, isn't it?

So, you want to take the string "2011-03-02T15:30:00+01:00" and create a
SysTime from it? Well, that's the extended ISO format, so just use
SysTime.fromISOExtString. e.g.

auto st = SysTime.fromISOExtString("2011-03-02T15:30:00+01:00");

You'll get a SysTime with the appropriate value for stdTime (in UTC), and
it'll have a SimpleTimeZone with a UTC offset of +1 hours. And if you want
that to then be in a different time zone, you can then convert it to other
time zones via toUTC, toLocalTime, or toOtherTZ (or by just setting its time
zone if you want to mutate it rather than getting a new value).

That's perfect. I didn't notice that static method. My fault!
