Russia autumn 1996 DST patch

[Paul Eggert]

Thanks for the fix for Russia.  Here is a patch to the latest tz data.
For now, I'll assume that Crimea, Kazakhstan, and Kirgizstan stay in
sync with Russia; so this patch fixes `asia', too.  (It also corrects
the spelling of your name in some older comments; sorry about that.)

By the way, for Ukraine, Itar-Tass <URL:http://www.itar-tass.com/tassnews.htm>
(1996-09-29) reports:

	09-18 00:43 Crimea ponders over problem of time zone.
	09-12 16:48 Ukraine extends summer time for economic benefits.

For now I'll assume that this means Crimea's clocks continue to match
Moscow's exactly; and that Ukraine's fall switch is now at the end of
October.  These assumptions don't require any further changes to the
tz tables.
