Very cool :-) One question -- is there a portable solution where a user could deploy a files onto a Windows system or is it a Unix only solution? I'm fine with incorporating a *nix only solution because what your suggesting will be a nice solution for *nix platforms, but it will need to be clear that it's not portable.
I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to deploy the (big-endian) binary files to any platform. Getting it into this binary form (using zone info compiler zic) may be harder to do cross-platform, but cygwin may help here. [snip]
As the primary maintainer of Boost date-time I can say with certainty that there is interest in this functionality -- it's long been on my todo list and I haven't had time to get to it. You can email me privately and we can discuss all the details of how to get your code incorporated.
I'll do! Regards, Rutger
