I know that it would break portability to have GNUstep depend
on those files from glibc, as not every system uses it.
However, if the files are similar (as I believe they all come
from a common source), would adding, say, --with-alt-
tz=/path/to/files and --with-alt-i18n=/path/to/files be a
horrific thing? That way, you'd only have one place on the
filesystem containing those types of files, instead of two.
Not to mention, it would make my life easier on LinuxSTEP. ;)
... and it would save 590 files.
As timezone files on Unixes are in well-known places, we could
check at installation time and create a symlink for the
directory.
However, on Darwin / OS X the file appear to differ:
Nobile:/System/Library$ diff -a
/usr/global/GNUstep/System/Libraries/Resources/NSTimeZones/zones/Zulu
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Zulu
1c1
< TZifUTC
\ No newline at end of file

Just another € 0,02
