There's a source file you can edit, then run "zic" (zoneinfo compiler) to produce all the files and dirs you see in /usr/share/zoneinfo. I think you could create your own timezone (Australia/Voytek) and make up your own rules. or .. set TZ according to the instructions in "man tzset" .. so though I haven't done this and it looks a little hairy.
