2007 DST update for RH7.2

["Paul Rupe" <prupe nc rr com>]

We have some RedHat 7.2 machines that we are stuck with for the time
being.  Of concern is the new daylight savings time rules that take effect
this year.  I did some searching on this list and found an update for 7.3
<http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-legacy-announce/2006-March/msg00014.html>.

I understand that no one is making updates for 7.2 anymore, so I was
wondering if I can adapt the one for 7.3.  The timezone rules are part of
the glibc packages.  Do I really need the new version of glibc, or can I
simply copy the /usr/share/zoneinfo files from the updated 7.3 packages
onto 7.2?  In other words, do the new zoneinfo files require the new glibc
to work properly?
