Next up is use of tzwinnow in tzselect, which is the point at which we start to get a tangible benefit, so that's probably when I should start actually posting the patches.
Now implemented this. Interesting discovery: this is actually the most complex place to apply winnowing. It's not just a matter of making links: the region descriptions in zone.tab have to be merged, and doing that in a way that produces legible results takes some effort. I'm happy with the results I'm getting.
It may be beneficial to add some manual hinting. The largish merged UTC+01 zones in Europe should probably be described as some variation on "Central European Time", a string that appears nowhere in zone.tab.
