The closest precedent we have at the moment is src/backend/regex, which
is a fairly large library that we imported lock-stock-and-barrel.
However, this precedent wouldn't hold if the code needs to be usable
from non-backend code.  ecpg seems to want to use the tz code ...

Right at the moment I am thinking we may end up keeping only about one
file out of the existing src/timezone import, so maybe it doesn't need
a whole subdirectory anyway?
