[Bug 1810] New: impending US DST changes

http://bugzilla.handhelds.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1810

           Summary: impending US DST changes
           Product: familiar
           Version: v0.8.4
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: bootstrap image
        AssignedTo: familiar-dev_at_handhelds.org

Because of the impending changes to daylight savings time (DST) here
in the US, I was motivated to work on creating a new timezone package.
In the base package I tried to put a city in every timezone around the
world. This package replaces the 'timezone' package used by Opie, so
some other packages will need to be changed to depend on tzdata
instead of timezone. (I used 'tzdata' since that is the Debian name
and in case some developers were not ready to switch over to tzdata.)

Someone with write access to oe (something I should probably get
eventually :-) can commit this to dev if you feel it is appropriate to
do so. I have tested the US Eastern time.

I'm sure more work could be done here. Feedback is welcome.
