Subject: [PROPOSED PATCH] tzselect: discard comments properly

The country code 'DM' matched data in the leading comments
in zone1970.tab, which caused tzselect to misbehave.
Problem reported by Owen Leibman in:
http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2015-May/022265.html
* tzselect.ksh (regions, TZ): Don't treat comments as data.
* NEWS: Mention this.
