Patch for missing timezones in 3.113

[Yngve Svendsen]

Previously posted to bug-gnats. gnats-devel is probably the right place for 
patches, so I resend it to this list.

I have also archived the 3.113 patches I have been able to find on 
http://sources.redhat.com/gnats.

The included patch adds the missing time zones from the web page mentioned 
above. I am fairly certain that the list in Gnats should be complete after 
applying this patch. It is against v3.113.

Milan: This patch should be almost directly applicable to getdate.c in 
Gnats 4 HEAD as well.
