> As for how far back should the patch to the abbreviations be applied? For my purposes from 2000 would be desirable. Are there any difficulties applying to the entire archive?

AFAICS and comparing with
ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/data/northamerica

only the file

ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/data/australasia

needs to be changed. For the Australian zones

1) replace EST with
E%sT
OR
AE%sT

2) in the columns LETTER/S
replace "-" with the letter "D" and "S" as applicable.
