I've added a fairly large number of time zones to the date/time parser.
They were originally mentioned in my zinc time zone database but without
sufficient information to actually enable them. Ruslan gave me a
reference to a web site with more time zone details so I was able to
fill in quite a few of them.
I've committed the changes to the development tree, and to the stable
tree also.
Details below. Comments and complaints welcome ;)
