Here is what you should do:

1. Build Postgres with --prefix set to some empty directory.
2. Run install.
3. Bundle up the resulting install tree as part of your tarball. Do not
editorialize upon the relative locations of its contents.
4. Drop the install tree wherever you want on the target machine.

-------------------------------------------------

Would it be a completely crazy idea if I try to modify Postgres to look at some env. var
(similar to PGDATA) and if exists and path is valid look there for the timezone files?
