The enclosed patch does the following:

References Decrees 1693 and 1705 from the Argentina's Boletín Oficial

Splits America/Argentina/Cordoba into America/Argentina/Salta, adjusting 
LMT for the latter for dates up to 1894-10-31

Adjusts the following zones not to apply DST from now on:
America/Argentina/Salta
America/Argentina/Catamarca
America/Argentina/La_Rioja
America/Argentina/San_Juan
America/Argentina/Mendoza
America/Argentina/San_Luis
America/Argentina/Rio_Gallegos
America/Argentina/Ushuaia

Adds the new zone into zone.tab

Reorders America/Argentina/* within zone.tab according to the 
instructions within the file (geographical sense / most populous first)

Reorders America/Argentina/* within southamerica to have the same order 
as within zone.tab

I also uploaded a tz file for Argentina with this info at

There are instructions (in Spanish) to download and compile it at
