proposed tz patches for Albania, Belgium, Congo, Hong Kong, and WWW

Here are some proposed patches to the tz database,
notably to bring it up to date with recent political events:

* Hong Kong is now part of China, and
  Zaire has been renamed Democratic Republic of Congo.
  These changes don't affect most programs;
  they just change commentary and tables accessed by tzselect.

* Correct the DST changeover times in Albania from 1985 through 1990,
  as reported in the new edition of Shanks.  (Expect more corrections
  in the future; I haven't had time to read Shanks's new edition
  past the A's yet.)

* Correct several errors in the Belgian entries before 1944. 
  Thanks to Pascal Delmoitie <pascal at belnet.be> for the new data.

* Add Eric Ulevik <eau at ozemail.com.au>'s comments about NSW's plans
  to change clocks for the 2000 Olympics.

* Rework WWW.htm to be more HTML-friendly.
  Add several sites, and update some obsolete references.

Also, it'd be nice if WWW.htm could be available as a separate file;
this would make it easier to give a URL to people interested in tz data.

! # From Paul Eggert (1997-07-02):
! # Entries from 1918 through 1991 are taken from:
! #	Annuaire de L'Observatoire Royal de Belgique,
! #	Avenue Circulaire, 3, B-1180 BRUXELLES, CLVIIe annee, 1991
! #	(Imprimerie HAYEZ, s.p.r.l., Rue Fin, 4, 1080 BRUXELLES, MCMXC),
! #	pp 8-9.
! # LMT before 1892 was 0:17:30, according to the official journal of Belgium:
! #	Moniteur Belge, Samedi 30 Avril 1892, N.121.
! # Thanks to Pascal Delmoitie <pascal at belnet.be> for these references.
! # The 1918 rules are listed for completeness; they apply to unoccupied Belgium.
! # Assume Brussels switched to WET in 1918 when the armistice took effect.
