<div dir="ltr">The proposed change to zone.tab leaves the entry for Antarctica/Macquarie in place with the rest of the AQ entries. For consistency (and since we've seen reports in the past of finicky implementations), it should probably live with the rest of the AU entries instead.<div style>

Subject: [PATCH] Macquarie Island is politically part of Australia, not<br>
Antarctica.<br>
<br>
This doesn't affect time stamps, just zone selection.<br>
Problem reported by Tobias Conradi in<br>

* antarctica (AusAQ, ATAQ): Remove; no longer needed.<br>
* australasia (Antarctica/Macquarie): Move here from<br>
the 'antarctica' file. Use Aus and AT rather than<br>
AusAQ and ATAQ.<br>
* zone.tab (Antarctica/Macquarie): Country code AU, not AQ.<br>
