Probably the best list at the moment is
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_zones_by_name
with an explanation at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoneinfo
One thing I forgot to mention and it's important: A big advantage of
using the zoneinfo name for your timezone is the underlying C library
will then return the daylight-saving-aware version of the time. Whereas
if you use something like 'XYZ-1' it will *always* be one hour ahead of
UTC, since it is a location-independent specification -- no daylight
savings rules come into play.
So, as a general rule, use the zoneinfo form (Europe/Vienna, etc).
