We recently discussed whether we should add a pointer to the Olson code but we

standard.

I see, no I had not realized that code is still
in use, I would have
thought it had been replaced by a whole lot of POSIX bloat.
POSIX doesn't even have the timezone files - it 'allows' for
implementation-defined timezones, but POSIX itself basically only
defines the System V TZ variable with a few extra bits to specify a
single set of daylight saving rules, e.g. "EST5EDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0".
