Patch for building tz on HP-UX (FILENAME_MAX)

[Hey, Tom, Tech Dev]

Hello,

First let me say thanks, tz appears to be an incredibly useful library.

However after building on HP-UX (details below) I ran into a problem 
with the definition of FILENAME_MAX. As HP-UX still supports some of 
its older filesystems the longest guaranteed FILENAME is 14 
characters. This gives a FILENAME_MAX value that is too short to 
access most of the timezone location files.

	OS: HP-UX 11
	cpp.ansi: HP92453-01 B.11.11.06 HP C Preprocessor (ANSI)
	ccom: HP92453-01 B.11.11.04 HP C Compiler
	/usr/ccs/bin/ld: 92453-07 linker linker ld B.11.30 011005

Patching tz, to optionally build with longer filename support can be 
done in any number of ways. One such change to support a new Makefile 
option "TZ_FILENAME_MAX" is described in the following patch/diff 
output:

And finally how can I subscribe to this mailing list?
