Description: initdb -L timezone directory
Details:
When specifing a non default location for input files to initialize the
database cluster with the "-L" option this option is not transfered to
timezone functions and initdb fail because it tries to find timezone files
in the hardcoded path settings done at compile time
"/usr/local/share/timezone" for example.
I expected initdb to use "-L" value to timezone too and for all other files
that is expected to be on share directory.
