I suggest that configure script support --enable-internal-timezone-database / --disable-internal-timezone-database options. --disable-internal-timezone-database should cause that installational targets in Makefile would not install files of timezone database.

Will this help the makers of distributions, like Ubuntu etc? If that is the case, then it might be worth doing, otherwise I don't think it's very useful.
