wish to use. Therefore I hacked some perl together to generate a comprehensive timezone list based on the Olsen zone.tab and iso3166.tab.
I doubt that every system in the world provides a definition for every timezone that's available in existence. I'm sure that there are some oddball boxes here and there whose libc contains definition for 20-30 of the most popular timezones, at the most. Presenting a huge dropdown list, most of which cannot be used, is not such a hot idea.
Although there might be possible to check for the existing timezone by the configure script, checking hundreds of timezones is going to take forever.
