End of rearguard section. Be consistent with POSIX TZ settings in the Zone names, even though this is the opposite of what many people expect. POSIX has positive signs west of Greenwich, but many people expect positive signs east of Greenwich. For example, TZ='Etc/GMT+4' uses the abbreviation "-04" and corresponds to 4 hours behind UT (i.e. west of Greenwich) even though many people would expect it to mean 4 hours ahead of UT (i.e. east of Greenwich). Earlier incarnations of this package were not POSIX-compliant, and had lines such as Zone GMT-12 -12 - GMT-1200 We did not want things to change quietly if someone accustomed to the old way does a zic -l GMT-12 so we moved the names into the Etc subdirectory. Also, the time zone abbreviations are now compatible with %z. There is no "Etc/Unknown" entry, as CLDR says that "Etc/Unknown" corresponds to an unknown or invalid time zone, and things would get confusing if Etc/Unknown were made valid here.
