Which match? I'm not sure what you're trying to tell me.
Basically, we want to generate a POSIX timezone from the current user's
Windows timezone. This boils down to four questions:
- Is the creation of tzmap.h from unicode.org via the
tzmap-from-unicode.org script the right thing to do or not?
- If it's the wrong thing to do, what other source do you propose and do
you have a script to perform the conversion from this source to a
valid tzmap.h file?
- Otherwise, is the current tzmap-from-unicode.org right or wrong in
adding these old extra timezone/territory settings, or is even
some combination missing?
- If so, would you mind to send a patch to fix tzmap-from-unicode.org
accordingly?
