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.

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!

Hi all, Apologies for digging up the past, but did this lead to anything? Did time_zone_base prove to be an adequate abstraction in this case?
