Functionaly, they are the same and signify GMT.  The only difference
is the TZ suffix (like "GMT", or "UTC") that gets displayed.

 * UTC, Universal and Zulu are identical (all hardlinks), and shows "UTC"
 * UCT shows "UCT"
 * Greenwich, GMT0, GMT-0, GMT+0, GMT (and ../GMT) are also hardlinked
   and show "GMT"

Otherwise, no difference.  (see /usr/src/share/zoneinfo/etcetera)
