Some time ago I pointed out that there's no concept of tzid on Windows, 
and I asked how CLDR got these "Windows-Tzids." But I don't think I got 
any answer.

The Java runtime uses the GetTimeZoneInformation() and "Time Zones" 
registry values to detect the current Windows time zone and map it to a 
tz database ID using some complicated method. You may want to check 
<JRE_HOME>\lib\tzmappings in JRE/JDK 6 for Windows and the runtime code 
for detecting the current Windows time zone. The source code can be 
downloaded from http://download.java.net/openjdk/jdk7/.
