I have bumped up the newlib release to 4.0.0.  The major release bump was
due to a change to the time.h header file which moved the __tzrule_struct
to a separate header.  A snapshot has been added to the regular newlib
download location.

Special thanks to Corinna for reviewing all the changes and to all who
contributed.
