84df54b22e8035addc7108abd9ff6995e8c49264 introduced timestamp
constructors. In the regression tests, various time zones are tested,
including America/Metlakatla. Now, if you configure using
--with-system-tzdata, you'll get an error if that zone isn't there.
Unfortunately, this is what I'm getting now when trying to build beta1
on Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid) with tzdata 2010i-1:

SELECT make_timestamptz(1866, 12, 10, 0, 0, 0, 'America/Metlakatla') AT TIME ZONE 'UTC';
! ERROR: time zone "America/Metlakatla" not recognized

I can work around it by patching the regression tests, but it would be
nice if some other zone would be used that wasn't "invented" in 2011.
