I'm eyeing the sources, and is seems to me that we need to split
America/Argentina/Catamarca in two, one for Catamarca (which doesn't
plan to introduce the DST), and one for Chubut (which does). The most
populous city in Chubut, per wikipedia, is Comodoro Rivadavia, "often
referred simply as Comodoro", hence the zone would be
America/Argentina/Comodoro.
The patch is attached that, I hope, implements the above changes, even
though more commentary changes would probably be apt. Please comment.
