Description:
   Yesterday, the Parliament of Western Australia passed legislation to
   introduce Daylight Savings for a 3 year trial period, commencing on
   3rd December 2006.  The lack of notice is quite unfortunate.
See http://www.parliament.wa.gov.au/parliament/bills.nsf/BillProgressPopup?openF...

	It would be nice if this change could be applied to FreeBSB in
	time for the start (including FreeBSD 6.2).
