Hello,

I have your email address from timezone/asia file inside the GNU
C library distribution. I need to correct the specification for our
time zone. I hope this is the correct address to send this information.

Basically, the only things that needs changing are the names of timezone,
at least that what I know of. I don't know where you got abbreviations
like JAVT, JST, or CST, so I left them intact. The following are a patch
to asia file that changes:

- WIT to WIB, waktu indonesia barat (english: west indonesian time)
- CIT to WITA, waktu indonesia tengah (central indonesian time)
- EIT to WIT, waktu indonesia timur (east indonesian time)
- City of Ujungpandang has been renamed to Makassar, so I create an
  entry for Makassar, but left Ujungpandang to facilitate upgrades

Thank you for your time...


ps. is it okay to create more major cities to be included in this file?
