It's partly programmatically, partly by hand. It's easy to write a script to make the list of "equivalent timezones". For example, America/Iqaluit is equivalent to America/Pangnirtung is equivalent to America/New_York. To select America/New_York for the list, and not Iqaluit, Pangnirtung, Vevay, Nipigon, or any other name, has to be done by hand. Eugene
