Well, the last two are because '.' are not allowed in time zone names 
in GNUstep. I'm not sure why that is, though.

I don't really know how to do this, but I imagine you could copy all

script which sets up the paths correctly...

This would work better with the latest CVS stuff (which won't be 
released for a month or two).
