'zic -b slim' now omits isstd, isut
The new '-b slim' option of zic now omits the isstd and isut
tables in TZif files. Because the intended use of these tables
often fails in practice and has been deprecated, we might as well
drop them when the user specifies the new '-b slim' option.
This change does not affect zic's default behavior, and does not
affect the behavior of ‘zic -b slim -p America/New_York’, so the
old System V behavior still works even with -b slim.
* Makefile, NEWS, zic.8: Adjust comments accordingly.
* zic.c (addtype): Omit isstd and isut if '-b slim'.
