Why not use the system data which are updated by the OS? I know that Windows also changes the clock for local DST.
The Windows timezone information does not include any historical information, as it's designed primarily to keep your computers clock correctly, not to convert date times between different timezones. As a result using to to convert data in the past can give incorrect information. We therefore want to consistently use the tz database. //Lennart
