The data files (currently listed "Unknown") came from the 2009i release.

Also, the file 'yearistype' in glibc is called 'yearistype.sh' in the 
2009i release.

I don't offhand know which tz version checktab.awk came from, but it 
wasn't 2015g. Deleting it would save us the effort of tracking down the 
tz version.
