To compile and install the zone file, you must use zic.  It
doesn't really matter where the timezone source is located.  The
'-l' flag to zic just sets thecorrect loca timezone, which is
usually achieved by copying the relevant compiled timezone data
file to /etc/localtime, which is dumb.  It's better to symlink
/etc/localtime to /usr/share/zoneinfo/Israel (or whatever)
instead.
