i have two tz* commands available, and they both allow
selecting which continent, which country, and which locale
in that country (if applicable).

my TZ has been 'CST6CDT' from slink; i've upgraded to potato
and these tzconfig/tzselect programs want to set TZ to
'America/Chicago'. i missed the docs on this, apparently.

is that a new standard for specifying timezones, or is it
just for newbies?
