Not that I have seen.  This would be tricky to do right.  I don't
think you can make arbitrary timezones easily.

Ideally the "right" thing to do would be to parse the TZ string and
find the Olsen entry that matches it, then use the Olsen ID.

In the cases where that does not exist, then you would have to make a
timezone object up that represents the rules for the TZ.  Perhaps you
can simply do this each time you parse a TZ...

Nonetheless, I think being able to parse TZs would be a great thing
for the DT project.
