It would (in principle) be possible to teach mergemaster(8) how to

(the bulk of?) what mergemaster does currently that I'm unconvinced
that this is reasonable, let alone ideal.
Yeah, I wouldn't be enthusiastic about this. :)
So it seems to me that requirements would be:
* The content of /etc/localtime must provide the appropriate
"zoneinfo" information, even when/usr/share/zoneinfo/* has been
modified (or shortly thereafter, in concert with "make installworld").
This is more along the lines of something that would be easy to work
with in mergemaster. If I can tell what file in /usr/share/zoneinfo to
compare /etc/localtime to (ideally with fully path), I'm happy to
provide a mechanism in mergemaster to make sure it stays up to date.
