Makes more sense to me this way too.  =:)

Very cool.

Testing now.  I had to re-add Makefile.am back into zoneinfo.  Hope that's 
okay.  

At first blush, things seem to be working perfectly, though I'm only looking 
at my small amount of data and mostly current/future events.  But it has most 
certainly corrected the previously-incorrect dates that have been plaguing me 
for weeks now.  Events that have been created since 3/11 show up correctly 
(with the new DST off-set), as do those events which were created before.

Looks good Allen!!  Thanks for taking the time to look into this!!  =:)
