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?
