Assume zic 2004 or later in "Apr Sun>=25" etc.
* asia (Zion), northamerica (Toronto): Use constructs like "Apr Sun>=25" and "Apr Fri<=1" that have been supported by zic since 2004. Although Solaris 8 used pre-2004 zic, Solaris 8 reached end-of-life in March 2012. * zic.8: State more clearly that "Apr Sun>=25" is allowed.
