It's a four-line patch on Linux also, but why make everyone do it by hand?
You can get the gist of the change at
http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/549.  I am not sure whether
the patch would be to the source, or to a tzdata table, as I'm currently in
Canada and didn't need to care. However, I have a package management system
so I don't have to manually make changes for things like this.

(Microsoft have an editor for the timezone data available also, but will
make updates available for free for supported OSes, and at great expense for
unsupported ones.)
