FC4 and 5 should not need any fixes.

FC2, well, I just overwrote /usr/share/zoneinfo/CST6CDT with one from
a newer machine and at least zdump shows the proper info.  Of course,
you'll have to do what's appropriate for your time zone.
Unfortunately I'm not really sure if this will actually do the right
thing when March 11 comes around.
