Acording to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_Islands the real capital of Easter Island is not Mataveri, but Hanga Roa, where most people of Easter Island live. Mataveri is famous for the Mataveri International Airport. Should we change the capital in the tz database? Luckily the timezone involved is called "Pacific/Easter" so there is no problem with that. It seems that only the explicit use of Mataveri Mean Time MMT and the commentary in the southamerica file is affected. Perhaps the latitude and longitude coordinates in zone.tab.
