 Using the script I mentioned in an different response, if someone installed
 the database to some location (TBD), then there would probably be a config

 needed to turn on the override.
 Perhaps said config file could also contain the timestamp of the tz
 database? Then we could intelligently choose the most currentest one.
The most current one is likely to be the one provided by the operating
system, which does not contain any .ini file, nor, as far as I can tell,
any information about the database version or any timestamps.
But Windows does not provide one, or at least, the proposal seems to be not use whatever it does have. I think your PEP should propose one api but conditional tz db access code for systems with and without the tz db already provided.
