Thanks for the heads-up. Here's a proposed patch that reflects your
new info as well. I also found an article
<http://www.latribuna.hn/99299.html> saying that the president of
Honduras refused to back down on this issue.
I suppose we could wait until Monday, to see whether the clocks in
Honduras and/or El Salvador actually changed over the weekend. But in
the meantime here's the latest info I have. Thanks again.
