Good Day!

I wonder if it is possible to add a new city to your timezone database ?
I do live in Tyumen/Russia and use BSD* unices for quite a long time. I often
wondered why the heck should I use anonymous timezones like GMT+5, then stoped
doing it. I've downloaded your recent database: tzdata2000g.tar.gz dated on 
Oct 10 2000 then made corresponding changes in europe file where all russian
cities are located. Resulting patch is the following:
  
*** orig/europe	Tue Oct 10 21:35:15 2000
--- europe	Sat Oct 28 14:48:59 2000
