In the email announcement titled " 2014a release of tz code and data available", there is this statement: Microsoft Windows 8.1 and later support tz database names. I did not see this mentioned on the tz list and an hour's googling brings me no joy. Does anyone have any links that will ease my confusion?

Whoops, it appears that I misunderstood the Microsoft documentation. Does the attached patch (installed into the experimental repository) explain things sufficiently? I don't know the Microsoft developer universe, so if the language can be further improved please let me know.
