Daylight saving changes

Quite a few countries seem to be changing their daylight saving rules
this year. Also Wine stores timezone information in the registry so
won't we need to update the data we store in the registry?
While looking at wine's timezone data I also found quite a few
differences with Windows' data.
Hence the question: Where does wine.inf's current data come from?
Where can one find authoritative data for this?
Does any one have an opinion on what to do about those?
* wine.inf's TZI field does not match Windows for these time zones:
Won't this impact email tools?
Arabic Standard Time
Azores Standard Time
Caucasus Standard Time
Dateline Standard Time
E. South America Standard Time
GTB Standard Time
Iran Standard Time
Israel Standard Time
New Zealand Standard Time
Newfoundland Standard Time
Pacific SA Standard Time
* wine.inf is missing some time zones:
Ekaterinburg Standard Time
Greenland Standard Time
Mid-Atlantic Standard Time
Nepal Standard Time
Sri Lanka Standard Time
W. Central Africa Standard Time
* wine.inf has an extra time zone:
Mexico Standard Time 2
* Wine's display name is not in the same format as the Windows one:
For instance for Tonga Standard Time:
Windows has: "Display"="(GMT+13:00) Nuku'alofa"
Wine has : "Display"="Pacific/Tongatapu"
