[Rd] POSIX <> character comparison is locale dependent

Hi Devs,
In my UTC+1 timezone the following code returns TRUE
t <- as.POSIXct("1999-12-31 23:50:00", tz = "UTC")
t > "2000-01-01"
## TRUE
For a person in US it would return FALSE.
The reason for this is that timezone of the "t" object is ignored in
base:::Ops.POSIXt.
Could this please be fixed? I am attaching a simple patch in case there is
interest.
Thanks,
Vitalie
