The downside to doing that is that we then take over maintenance of the
code and, more importantly, the timezone database.
But it might be the best thing to do. It looks like the zic package
pointed to the other day could be used, though we may have to change
some of the variables and entry points to avoid library conflicts. But
we could also blow past the y2038 limit afaict which would be nice.
