I'm sorry, I meant "later than it is now". Presumably the person doing
the cross-compile has *some* access to the target hardware and could run
the zic program on that hardware. During the regular install step of a
cross-compile build, instead of trying to run zic, we'd have to copy
zic, the timezone source data files, and probably a small shell script
into the install tree. Then at some later point the user would have to
invoke the shell script on the target hardware in order to finish the
installation. Kinda messy, I agree, but at least it will work reliably.
