With the tz code, the leapsecond data is already gotten from a separate file called `leapseconds'.
Please pay attention. Running zic is a pain, since the OS doesn't include the necessary input data. What I'm suggesting is a leap-second table read at run time. This will simplify tz maintenance for people who live in stable time zones.
That method should be reliable,
It isn't. Your code is wrong. tm_gmtoff answers my question. ---Dan
