Hello all!

For the JRuby project, we frequently want (or need) to test with more
recent timezone data. We have built various automated processes for
updating the timezone data in joda-time.

We have recently started a migration to a full Maven build, and as a
result we have found it easier to publish the precompiled tzdata as a
maven artifact org.jruby.joda-timezones. We are about to start pushing
these jars (containing just the data files) to central, but...it
seemed like this might be something more appropriate for the joda-time
project to do.

I know that JSR-301 is going to incorporate joda-time and *some*
timezone data, but even then it seems like it would be useful to
always have the latest tzdata precompiled and available in Maven.

So I'm offering up the pom.xml we've prepared with the thought that
you might be interested in handling the pushing of these artifacts. If
it would be better for us to push them ourselves, that's fine...but it
seems like it would be more generally useful as a joda-time project.

Our repository for this tzdata artifact is here:
https://github.com/jruby/joda-timezones

So, thoughts?

- Charlie
