You could probably use the tz database [ http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm ]. Download the data archive [ ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2009a.tar.gz ] which contains different files with time zone information. The file 'zone.tab' contains geographic coordinates for the principal locations of the zones (perhaps you can use this data). The other files contain time zone data (GMT offsets and other data). I think the 'Zone' entries are what you need.
