If you're comfortable using Java, you can examine the tz compiler in the Joda-Time project. David Braverman wrote:

Thank you. That part wasn't clear from the docs.
You can debug your understanding by using the command "zdump -v America/Chicago".
Well, actually I can't, since I'm stuck using Wintel systems. And while I can read C at about the level that most 13-year-olds read Hebrew (and for almost exactly the same reasons), I had some difficulty getting through the raw zdump.c code.
Any tips for compiling it using MSVC? I'm a little out of my depth here.
