compile errors on timezone database

[Olson, Arthur David (NIH/NCI)]

Another possibility is to change from...
	lastSat	24:00
...to...
	lastSat	23:59:59
(meaning that changes will be one second premature and that some binary
output files will change, but avoiding the dread 60th second.)

Please don't do this.  This is a bogus time, because there is no leap second
at that time.  24:00 makes a lot more sense.  Plus my parsing code already
handles it and I don't want to have to make more changes ;)
