Subject: Wrong Argentinian DST introduced in version 2008f

Hi,

tzdata version 2008f introduced a rule for Argentinian DST based on
http://www.worldtimezone.com/dst_news/dst_news_argentina03.html
and
http://www.impulsobaires.com.ar/nota.php?id=57832

Unfortunately those links only speak about rumors of a DST change, there
is nothing fixed officially, and according to some Argentinian people
DST may even not happen this year.

Until an official decision is taken it is probably a lot better to
remove any DST rule for year 2008. Please find attached a patch to do
that.

Regards,
Aurelien
