With the upcoming changes to Daylight Saving Time, I'm curious what
others have done to prepare for this.  At work, we have several older
Unix/Linux machines, and of course they seem to have different ways of
handling it.  Some allow setting a long string in the TZ environment
variable, while others seem to require downloading new zoneinfo files.
 For the latter, I think they can be found at
http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm.  These are the source files, so
it appears you need to run zic on them.  Has anyone done this?
