I would also ask for this file to be installable in the zoneinfo directory. On many systems it is impossible to figure out what version of tzdata they use.
It should be installable, for those who want to install it there.
By "installable" I mean "make install" should copy it to $TZDIR.
There is a bit of fun if someone runs the shell command 'TZ="version" date'; this ends up being equivalent to 'TZ="GMT0" date' in the reference implementation (assuming the version number does not begin with "TZif"!).
You can have the same fun with TZ=zone.tab now.
