The new implementation of DT:TZ:Local has implementations for all platforms
in a single unit. I don't like the fact that much code is compiled and
translation tables are loaded to support systems that are not relevant to
the current environment. I preferred the previous modular implementation.

At $work I'm working with Perl in an embedded environment (ARM, 64 Mb of
memory) where initial boot time is important and memory is a scarce
resource. I'm not yet using DT/DT::TZ in the application but I may in the
future and that waste of resources is not welcome.
