[DRE-maint] Bug#503591: TZInfo that use zoneinfo db

[Josef Stribny]

Hi all,

I rewrote TZInfo a bit to use system-wide zoneinfo files. You can look at it at GitHub:
https://github.com/strzibny/tzinfo

I am trying to make this change with Phillip Ross as you can follow here:
http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=29620&group_id=894&atid=3525

Everybody is welcome to test it and comment on the current state.
Maybe we also make a version that doesn't include the Ruby modules with tzdata at all.

Thanks and best regards
Josef Stribny
