I think HP-UX is in a similar boat. That is, although HP-UX uses the IANA tz
data, it also has a proprietary time zone database called tztab, originally
developed independently from the tz project. As I understand things, HP
continues to maintain tztab for backward-compatibility reasons, and there are
mappings between tztab and tz names.
