Here's an updated version of the patch to fix the currently-incorrect
clock settings we have for several provinces in Argentina; it
incorporates the recent messages from Mariano Absatz and Gwillim Law
(thanks!).

+# ... this weekend, the Province of Tucuman decided it'd go back to UTC-03:00
+# yesterday midnight (that is, at 24:00 Saturday 12th), since the people's

+# the start. The government had decreed that the measure would take
+# effect on June 1, but a normative error forced the new time to begin
+# three days earlier, from a Saturday to a Sunday....
+# Our understanding was that the change was originally scheduled to take place
+# on June 1 at 00:00 in Chubut, Santa Cruz, Tierra del Fuego (and some other
+# provinces). Sunday was May 30, only two days earlier. So the article
+# contains a contradiction. I would give more credence to the Saturday/Sunday
