Well, that's good news but ultimately pretty useless. If it's really going
ot be of any use to applications in general, then the OS itself needs to be
using the TZ database files, and that needs to be accessible via their
normal C API, not just the WinRT stuff. But maybe this is a good sign for
the future.
