>Environment:
System: FreeBSD turion.vk2pj.dyndns.org 6.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE #23: Fri Oct 27 09:36:46 EST 2006 root at turion.vk2pj.dyndns.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/turion amd64

Affects all versions of FreeBSD

>Description:
	Yesterday, the Parliament of Western Australia passed legislation to
	introduce Daylight Savings for a 3 year trial period, commencing on
	3rd December 2006.  The lack of notice is quite unfortunate.

	See http://www.parliament.wa.gov.au/parliament/bills.nsf/BillProgressPopup?openForm&ParentUNID=9A1B183144403DA54825721200088DF1

	It would be nice if this change could be applied to FreeBSB in
	time for the start (including FreeBSD 6.2).
>How-To-Repeat:
	New functionality
