Thanks. I'd like to mention this in tz-links.htm but I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to characterize it. Is it a copy of the tz database, or a tz compiler, or some combination of the two? Clearly your approach differs from that of the Python time zones project <http://s.keim.free.fr/tz/doc.html> but I can't easily put my finger on the difference. For example, pytz-2004a.tar.bz2 contains a lot of files saying "Generated from the Olson timezone database" but I don't see a copy of the program used to generate those files. Surely this is an important part of the project. Thanks.
