Yes, it would be nice to use the binaries, but I have to provide a complete solution that can, upon someone retrieving and extracting the tz data, update the db with a click of a button on a Windows computer.
Unless I'm mistaken one of the goals of the CalConnect Timezone Technical Committee effort is to define network server mechanism for providing zoneinfo to any client which needs to know that.
