I'm not sure it's relevant to what you're trying to do now.  Lennart's
tzlocal is intended to work with pytz, and its unix.py just searches
all over creation for "the local" IANA tzfile to pass to pytz.

My guess is that unless/until Python ships IANA files itself, we're
best off sticking to standard C functions.  Those have _some_ scant
chance of working everywhere ;-)
