Hi -
some 3rd-party software wants the zone.tab file, to print the
time zone locations on a map or whatever.
(A particular bad example is "evolution" which segfaults without
notice if it is not found.)
Most platforms supported by such software appear to have
that file installed.
NetBSD does not. Should it?
I'm preparing a pkg which does nothing else than to install
a copy of zone.tab. A "builtin.mk" file could be added later
so that it doesn't get installed unnecessarily.

best regards
Matthias
