It's partly programmatically, partly by hand. It's easy to write a
script to make the list of "equivalent timezones". For example,
America/Iqaluit is equivalent to America/Pangnirtung is equivalent to
America/New_York.

To select America/New_York for the list, and not Iqaluit, Pangnirtung,
Vevay, Nipigon, or any other name, has to be done by hand.
