It would be very helpful for us if we could get a release quickly that added these to zone.tab (with new IDs and Links). Any possibility of that?
For the IDs, I'd suggest either Saint_Barthelemy or Gustavia for the first, and either Saint_Martin or Marigot for the second.
From the CIA Factbook, here are the capitals and locations.
name: Gustavia
geographic coordinates: 17 53 N, 62 51 W
time difference: UTC-4 (1 hour behind Washington, DC, during Standard Time)
daylight savings: +1 hour, starts 20 March and ends 17 October
name: Marigot
geographical coordinates: 18 04 N, 63 05 W
time difference: UTC-4 (1 hour behind Washington, DC, during Standard Time)
daylight savings: +1 hour
These country codes were split off from Guadeloupe, and so had the same timezone rules. So they can be initially Linked to Guadeloupe.
# Guadeloupe
# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL]
Zone America/Guadeloupe -4:06:08 - LMT 1911 Jun 8 # Pointe a Pitre

I'm forwarding this message from Jonas Melian, who is not on the time zone mailing list.
Those of you who are on the time zone mailing list should direct replies appropriately.
