For your idea of a text-only table of already-parsed data, you may consider the zdump utility that is packaged in the distribution.

It sounds like what's wanted is more a table like this: Africa/Abidjan GMT0 Africa/Accra GMT0 Africa/Algiers CET-1 Africa/Bissau GMT0 Africa/Cairo EET-2 Africa/Casablanca WET0WEST,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/3 Africa/Ceuta CET-1CEST,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/3 ... where the first column is the TZ name, and the second is the prediction of the future behavior of clocks in the corresponding location, in nearly-POSIX TZ string format. We don't distribute a table like that now, though I suppose we could generate one automatically from the information that is already there.
