Well, it  could be done, especially  considering that the fix[0]  is not
really intrusive. As you pointed out, perhaps tzname[1] and dst[2] fixes
could be  added too. I  have only done one  upload of python-tz  so far,
therefore I'm  not so familiar  with it,  but these patches  seem pretty
straightforward...
