Timezone

Aww, too bad. I read the bit about the timezone script and thought it accurately determined timezone from lat,long. Unfortunately, zone.tab just has the location of populous cities in the timezone, and tzfind.pl finds the closest such city. It's not at all guaranteed that that because I'm closer to New York than, say, Detroit that I'm actually in NY's timezone.
