Time zones database and library

This package has two main goals:

  • To distribute the standard time zone database in a cabal package, so that it can be used in Haskell programs uniformly on all platforms.

  • To provide a library that can read time zone info files (aka. Olson files), and does time zone conversions in a pure and efficient way.

The current version ships the 2014b version of the time zone database. See: http://www.iana.org/time-zones for more info.

The package is currently in a draft phase, I'm still experimenting with different ideas wrt. scope/API/implementation/etc. All comments are welcome!
