For what it's worth, tzcode ignores both the version number and the magic "TZif"
string when deciphering a TZif file. That is, tzcode merely looks at the file's
payload and does the best that it can do.
I suppose that tzcode could be pickier about parsing TZif files, but I expect
that in practice the pickiness would not matter much and there is some benefit
to being generous about what tzcode accepts.
