Using the script I mentioned in an different response, if someone installed the database to some location (TBD), then there would probably be a config file sitting next to it. A simple .ini file with an 'enable' flag would be needed to turn on the override.

Perhaps said config file could also contain the timestamp of the tz database? Then we could intelligently choose the most currentest one.

The most current one is likely to be the one provided by the operating system, which does not contain any .ini file, nor, as far as I can tell, any information about the database version or any timestamps.
