Since saturday Portugal is in WEST timezone. Some of my programs stopped
working. Those programs use the output of java.util.Date, and come out as
"Sat Mar 29 04:47:06 WEST 2008".
Though not everyone uses that kind of output in timezones, everyone that
uses a recent jvm and are in portugal, faroe island or canary island will
have issues with this. Ref:

We don't include all timezone abbreviations, because they're generally
not well-defined. Not sure if that's the case with WEST, but it seems
quite likely. We do have the abbreviation WETDST for that, though.
I found a way to *hack* the solution by copying the file Portugal to WEST in
share/timezones
No need for such hacks, see:
