Symlinks would have been nice... They're hardlinks.  At least,
US/Central and America/Chicago have the same inode numbers.  It looks
like gentoo puts hardlinked versions of zone files all over the place
in zoneinfo.  I'm putting the repeats into my bug report.

Ok, it's http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=212237 .  Hopefully that
gets the gist of the problem.  If not, I'd be happy to provide more
info.  I've been using KDE4 since pre-4.1 starting shaping up; it's
really becoming a joy to work with.  Thanks for all the hard work!
