proposed changes to tz data from 1997-02 IATA tables, etc.

Here are proposed changes for for the following countries, taken from
the changes in the 1997-02 IATA tables reported by Gwillim Law.
Brazil
Cuba
Libya
Mongolia
New Caledonia
Paraguay
Sri Lanka [with transition time found via Deja News]
This change also incorporates the simpler (and hopefully more
accurate) prediction for Israel that I mentioned earlier on this list.
Also, it contains commentary updates for several locations (mostly
peri-Antarctic islands) that should be self-explanatory, and it
adds some new URL references and removes one or two dangling URLs.

# came into force on 16 November. It restates the dates from the EC
# seventh Summer Time Directive....
#
! # From Peter Ilieve <peter at aldie.co.uk> (1996-04-20):
! # Proposals for the eighth directive were supposed to have been produced
! # by the Commission by 1 Jan 96. They have not yet appeared (I asked just
! # before Easter).
# From Peter Ilieve <peter at memex.co.uk> (1994-03-28):
# The [GB-Eire] end date of 22 October [1995] conflicts with your current rule

#
! # From Peter Ilieve <peter at aldie.co.uk> (1997-03-28):
! # The [European] Transport Council discussed the proposed Eighth Directive
! # on 11 March and agreed [to] it, so it moves forward to the next stage,
! # from a Commission proposal to a Common Position.... What this means is:
! #
! # - The eighth directive proposal rules have been accepted.
! # These are the same as the current rules (last Sunday in March and last
! # Sunday in October). The rules will run until 2001.
! #
! # - The French have had their request to abandon summer time turned down.
! # They have been promised some sort of review in 1999 which might change
! # the rules for 2000 and 2001.
# From Peter Ilieve <peter at memex.co.uk> (1994-03-28):
