Only through watching the news last night did I discover that Daylight
Savings for (at least) New South Wales had changed this year. I wish they'd
make up their minds !

As yet, I have no idea what the actual ending date is so I'm taking a guess
that the relevant patch to /usr/src/share/zoneinfo/australasia is something
like the following but, on a Saturday, it's difficult to find anyone to ring
that actually knows :-(
