I have downloaded timezone.pl and tzabbrevs from the cvs at
http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/classpath/classpath/scripts/
then I downloaded ftp://ftp.cs.mu.oz.au/pub/tzdata2005k.tar.gz and
unpacked it to the directory ./tzdata
At first it says:
"Unknown link Link America/Buenos_Aires AGT"
removing this line from tzabbrevs and the timezone.pl works fine.
The output from timezone.pl differs strongly from TimeZone.java in
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/classpath/classpath-0.17.tar.gz for more than just
Pacific/Easter.
I am therefore confident that TimeZone.java in the tarball was made with
a different (perhaps obsolete) tzdata. I will check tomorrow whether the
timezone.java I generated from tzdata2005k.tar.gz is correct for at
least some timezones I am personally familiar to.
