... and it would save 590 files.

As timezone files on Unixes are in well-known places, we could 
check at installation time and create a symlink for the 
directory.

However, on Darwin / OS X the file appear to differ:

Nobile:/System/Library$ diff -a 
/usr/global/GNUstep/System/Libraries/Resources/NSTimeZones/zones/Zulu  
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Zulu
1c1
< TZifUTC
\ No newline at end of file
---
> UTC
\ No newline at end of file
