There's nothing magical about the files, is there? A user should be able
to plug in a zic-compiled zone file from just about anywhere if they
really need it, without having to update postgres, or I have badly
misunderstood how we handle things. Of course, your OS might not come
with such things (e.g. Windows), but it should not be a very big deal to
obtain the file.
