This patch brings possibility to switch from default build-in timezone
to another timezone source - typically to OS timezone location. This
enhancement helps to packagers easy solve integration problem with
systems Timezones.

If --with-tzdir=/usr/share/zoneinfo is specified as ./configure
parameter, postgres will use timezone files from /usr/share/zoneinfo
directory and build-in timezone files will not be installed by make
install command.

It was discussed few weeks ago:
