I've taken up the local cable TV network (optus, telstra) practice of
using AEST and AEDT instead of just EST in Australia, so I edited
/usr/src/share/zoneinfo/australasia to produce these timezones.

After installing the new tz file:
su-2.05a# date
Thu Mar 28 13:23:09 AEDT 2002
Fast forward to a date after daylight savings time ends:
su-2.05a# date 200207070707
Sun Jul 7 07:07:00 AEST 2002
Back to normal:
su-2.05a# date 200203281324
Thu Mar 28 13:24:00 AEDT 2002
I'm wondering why this isn't the default behaviour, is it because it'll
break things or what?
