UNIXes use UTC internally which has no DST, but for userspace there is
"tzdata" package (with that name in Fedora, at least.)

- Zones EST, MST, HST, EST5EDT, CST6CDT, MST7MDT, PST8PDT moved to
northamerica to guard against old files with obsolete information
being left in the time zone binary directory.
- Changes for countries that are supposed to join 2007 US DST
change. This includes most of Canada, however entries already in
the database (Alberta, British Columbia, Newfoundland, Northwest
Territories, and Yukon) were left alone for the time being.
- Fixes in zdump.c (abbrok): conditions are chained, and the string
is checked for emptiness.
