Yes; all that's need is a bit of elaboration on

cd /YOUR/SYSTEM/PREAMBLE/zoneinfo

tail -n 1 `find * ! -name "*.tab"`

It sounds like what's wanted is more a table like this:

Africa/Abidjan GMT0
Africa/Accra GMT0
Africa/Algiers CET-1
Africa/Bissau GMT0
Africa/Cairo EET-2
Africa/Casablanca WET0WEST,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/3
Africa/Ceuta CET-1CEST,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/3
...

where the first column is the TZ name, and the second is the prediction of the future behavior of clocks in the corresponding location, in nearly-POSIX TZ string format. We don't distribute a table like that now, though I suppose we could generate one automatically from the information that is already there.
