Description of changes:

   - Fiji's 2016 fall-back transition is scheduled for January 17, not 24.
   - Fort Nelson, British Columbia will not fall back on 2015-11-01.  It has
     effectively been on MST (-0700) since it advanced its clocks on

     New zone America/Fort_Nelson.

[2015f-1]
- Rebase to 2015f
   - North Korea switches to +0830 on 2015-08-15.
     The abbreviation remains "KST".

[2015e-1]
- Rebase to 2015e:
   - Morocco will suspend DST from 2015-06-14 03:00 through 2015-07-19 
02:00,
     not 06-13 and 07-18 as we had guessed.  (Thanks to Milamber.)
   - Assume Cayman Islands will observe DST starting next year, using US 
rules.
     Although it isn't guaranteed, it is the most likely.

[2015d-3]
-  Morocco will suspend DST from 2015-06-14 03:00 through 2015-07-19 02:00,
    not 06-13 and 07-18 as we had guessed.

[2015d-1]
- Rebase to 2015d:
   - The Egyptian Cabinet announced that DST will be cancelled for 2015.
   - The abbreviations for Hawaii-Aleutian standard and daylight times
     have been changed from HAST/HADT to HST/HDT, as per US Government
     Printing Office style. This affects only America/Adak since 1983,
     as America/Honolulu was already using the new style.

[2015c-2]
- The Egyptian Cabinet announced that DST will be cancelled for 2015.

[2015c-1]
- Rebase to 2015c
   - Egypt's spring-forward transition is at 24:00 on April's last Thursday,
     not 00:00 on April's last Friday.  2015's transition will therefore 
be on
     Thursday, April 30 at 24:00, not Friday, April 24 at 00:00. Similar 
fixes
     apply to 2026, 2037, 2043, etc.

- Rebase to 2015b
   - Mongolia will start observing DST again this year, from the last
     Saturday in March at 02:00 to the last Saturday in September at 00:00.
   - Palestine will start DST on March 28, not March 27.  Also,
     correct the fall 2014 transition from September 26 to October 24.
     Adjust future predictions accordingly.
