[tz] Updating the Efele maps: which names?

[Eric Muller]

I am looking at updating the Efele maps (http://efele.net/maps/tz/), 
primarily to deal with the changes in Russia, and more generally make 
sure that the maps are in sync with the current/next release of TZ.

TZ provides a bunch of zone names, either via a Zone entry or via a Link 
entry. I am taking this opportunity to make sure that all these names 
are accounted for, in one of three ways:

- names that do not belong to the maps (e.g. Etc/UTC)
- names that should have a corresponding area in the maps
- names that are aliases for other names

I elected to retain the current per-country separations, as I believe it 
is more appropriate for maps, and more generally to retain the finest 
granularity possible. Some users may want to merge areas that follow the 
sames rules, but may have different definition of same rules (e.g. some 
may want to fold what is not different since 1970, others may want to 
fold what is not different since last year; some may ignore the FORMAT, 
some may not), and the finest granularity accommodates the largest 
number of uses.

Here is what I came up with. All the names of TZ are supposed to be 
present somewhere.

Comments welcome.

Thanks,
Eric.

Each line below will be a separate area, labelled with the first name in

also be areas labeled "uninhabited" or "unknown", and Antarctica will be 
points rather than areas.
