Re: Name change for Macao?

ISO 3166-1 NEWSLETTER No. V-4 apparently changes the short Country Name for MO from "Macau" to "Macao".

So, should the Asia/Macau timezone be changed back to Asia/Macao? Version 2002b introduced Asia/Macau.

http://www.iso.ch/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/03updates-on-iso-3166/nl v4e-div.html Google still says that "Macau" is far more popular than "Macao", so let's leave the names alone for now. Both names should work, so long as "backward" is installed. I noticed that Newsletter V-5 changed the country code for East Timor from TP to TL. I'll propagate that into zone.tab and iso3166.tab in my next proposed patch.
