Oops, um, you need to run the script tools/parse_olson to generate most
of the time zone stuff.  Something like:

  PERL5LIB=/path/to/DateTime.pm/lib/ tools/parse_olson --dir=/path/to/olson/files/

But now I realize DateTime.pm require DateTime::TimeZone, which require
DateTime::TimeZoneCatalog, which is generated, which requires ...

Bootstrapping problem!

I should probably just check in the generated files and be done with it.
Anyone have any objections to that?
