If I want to graph "web hits per (localtime) day", I end up with
"web hits per (GMT) day".

Is there a work-around for this??  It seems that I could add data
every hour and generate "daily looking" graphs, but that involves a
24x increase in the amount of data stored.

It would be really nice to be able to somehow specify that CDP slots
should be aligned at arbitrary times.  For example, I'd like to do
"rrdtool create" with a step of one day and the CDPs aligned at
midnight localtime.
