Subject: Proposed changes for Argentina, tzfile.5, and strerror

I've checked with Paul Eggert and he's still otherwise occupied,
so I've prepared the proposed changes that appear below. Summarizing:

*	africa	Morocco observes DST in 2008
*	asia	Choibalsan is now 8 hours off UCT
*	asia	Pakistan observes DST in 2008

As usual I'll let these percolate over a weekend; I'll try to make
tzdata2008c.tar.gz available on 2008-05-27
(a Tuesday rather than usual Monday since Monday is a United States holiday).
