Thanks, but I think we already have that change installed in the
current tz tables (tzdata2007e.tar.gz).  For example:

$ ./zdump -c 2007,2008 -v Asia/Istanbul | grep 2007
Asia/Istanbul  Sun Mar 25 00:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 25 02:59:59 2007 EET isdst=0
Asia/Istanbul  Sun Mar 25 01:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 25 04:00:00 2007 EEST isdst=1
Asia/Istanbul  Sun Oct 28 00:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Oct 28 03:59:59 2007 EEST isdst=1
Asia/Istanbul  Sun Oct 28 01:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Oct 28 03:00:00 2007 EET isdst=0
