   I don't think that the file date in the tar files can be depended on to
   be the date of a change

One should be able to depend on them.  (After all, we're the ones that
are supposed to be meticulous about time stamps.  :-)

I noticed the file-date problem myself, and have been repairing the
file dates as I get them, but it would be nicer if the file dates were
correct in the distributed tar file.

Here's a shell script to repair the time stamps of the tz source files
to be what I think are the correct values.  You can apply this script
after extracting the files from tzcode2000d.tar.gz and
tzdata2000d.tar.gz.

Perhaps this time-stamp repair could be done to the master copy of the
files, before the next version is generated?  Of course any files
changed after 2000d should have newer time stamps.
