After studying both pytz and dateutil offerings, I decided that it is
easier to add "fold-awareness" to the later.  I created a fork [1] on
Github and added [2] fold-awareness logic to the tzrange class that appears
to be the base class for most other tzinfo implementations.  I was
surprised how few test cases had to be changed.  It looks like  dateutil
test suit does not test questionable (in the absence of fold) behavior.  I
will need to beef up the test coverage.

I am making all development public early on and hope to see code reviews
and pull requests from interested parties.  Pull requests with additional
test cases are most welcome.
