I don't understand precisely what need to be done, but I'll give it a
shot if you get me pointed in the right direction.
<downloads and looks at code>
I see that tzcode2002c.tar.gz includes a mktime() function. Is the idea
to pull this out (with just whatever support it needs), incorporate it
into PostgreSQL source (perhaps in a new src/backend/utils/tz directory)
and use this in place of the system provided mktime()?
