Thanx, Steffen... I hadn't heard that... now I read in the papers that
Nequén, La Rioja and Jujuy wouldn't use DST either...

I'm enclosing a new patch that considers that the following Provinces
will NOT use DST this year:

Mendoza (but it calls UTC-3 WARST)
San Juan
San Luis
Catamarca
Salta
Neuquén
Jujuy
La Rioja

I also uploaded a tz file for Argentina with this info at
http://wiki.clueless.com.ar/ActualizarTimezonesConTzdata?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=argentina-baby-2008-10-16.zoneinfo

There are instructions (in Spanish) to download and compile it at
http://wiki.clueless.com.ar/ActualizarTimezonesConTzdata#parche_baby_2008_10

I'll try to keep this updated during the weekend, but I make no promises...
