Great!

Patch applied to 7.3 and CVS tip --- Bruce, you're maintaining the
supported-platforms list, right?

I can tell you that the hppa entry is correct. I presume the cygwin
folks would've mentioned it by now if theirs wasn't.

I suspect we are looking at two different behaviors for systems with no
old DST data: either assume all before 1970 is standard time (hppa does
this) or assume that years before 1970 use the same transition rule as
1970 (I'll bet that's what Solaris, AIX, etc are doing).
