Synopsis:	Low: tzdata enhancement update
Issue date:	2011-01-11

This updated package addresses the following change to Daylight Saving
Time (DST) observations:

* In Samoa, the Daylight Saving Time period ends on 2011-04-03 at 1:00,
not at midnight.

* In Fiji, the end of the Daylight Saving Time period has been moved to
2011-03-06.

* In the zone.tab file, an obsolete association of Vostok Station with
South Magnetic Pole was removed, and the association with Lake Vostok
was added instead.
