Nice utility.

I wouldn't mind something like this too:

    $ olson time 13:48       # where is it currently 13:44?
    $ olson time 13:48 -Cau  # where in Australia is it currently 13:44
    Australia/Currie
    Australia/Hobart
    Australia/Lindeman
    Australia/Melbourne
    Australia/Sydney

Feels like a useful way to offer a limited number of zones to a customer when you know their localtime (eg. in a web interface)

Cheers!

New version of the query tool attached.  This one has a lot more options
for searching for zones.  It lets you ask questions like:

     $ olson areas -Cru # where is Russia?
     Asia
     Europe

     $ olson offsets -ICST # what does "CST" mean?
     -06
     -05
     +08
     +09:30
     +10:30

     $ olson zones -Cau -IEST # which zone might EST be in Australia?
     Australia/Brisbane
     Australia/Currie
     Australia/Hobart
     Australia/Lindeman
     Australia/Melbourne
     Australia/Sydney

I've got a todo list with a bunch more features that it ought to
support searching on, but I think I'm going to handle them by a radical
refactoring that yields more of a query language than this collection
of options.
