Good catch. Come to think of it, this suggests that we should remove
Atlantic/Jan_Mayen, since there's no particular reason to have
duplicate entries Arctic/Longyearbyen and Arctic/Jan_Mayen: those
entries would have the same time zone history, country code, and
continent. (By "remove" I really mean "move to the 'backward' file"...)

Here are some further proposed patches, accumulating changes since

changes that Arthur David Olson has already proposed regarding time in
Argentina; ...
* Move Atlantic/Jan_Mayen to the 'backward' file
(thanks to Jonas Melian for this).
