    Add an option to zic.c to dump out all non-obsolete timezone abbreviations
    defined in the Olson database.  Comparing this list to its previous state
    will clue us in when something happens that we may need to account for in
    the tznames/ time zone abbreviation lists.  The README file's previous
    exhortation to "just grep for differences" was completely useless advice,
    in my now-considerable experience; but maybe this will be a bit more
    useful.  As a starting point I built the same list from the tzdata files
    as they existed in 2006, which is committed here as known_abbrevs.txt.
    Comparison indeed turned up quite a few changes we had neglected to account
    for, which I will commit separately.
