I've actually been trying to use this data to implement time zone conversion in REALbasic, and one of the steps in doing so has proven to be rewriting the data files in XML. I could contribute that much to

Actually, the ICU team is very interested in getting this data in an XML form as well. One of the projects on my to-do list is to make a proposal for changes to zic that would optionally emit a (stable) XML version of the data.
