The factory file (and Factory time zone) was meant as a way to say
"not configured" that would give a clear error when running date(1).
For us it would just look like UTC, so it is of no value.

This upgrade involved rewriting the script; the data has moved to ftp.iana.org,
where it's slightly less convenient to access, so it's time to use something
that can talk FTP...
As for tzdata2012d, it's just updating Morocco for this weekend's changes, now
they've been decided at the last minute (as usual).

From the release notes:
africa
Summer time changes for Morocco (to start late April 2012)
asia
Changes for 2012 for Gaza & the West Bank (Hebron) and Syria
northamerica
Haiti following US/Canada rules for 2012 (and we're assuming,
for now anyway, for the future).
Also include a change made internally to the 'generate' script as part of
the tzdata2011m update that apparently never made it to AOSP; the original
checkin comment for which was:
Update to tzdata2011m.
Fixes for Europe/Tiraspol (Moldova) and all four Ukrainian zones.
Also show the MD5 of the downloaded data, for comparison against the MD5
given in the announcement mails. (There's a plan to move to proper signing,
but that's not implemented on their end yet.)
(I'm repeating the tzdata change for the convenience of anyone grepping the
log, since the 2012 tzdata releases also contain the 2011m changes; 2011m
is the only missing release I noticed.)

Summer time in Cuba has been delayed 3 weeks (now starts April 1 rather
than March 11). Since March 11 (the old start date, as listed in 2012a)
is just a little over a week away, this change is urgent.

Armenia has abolished Summer Time.

(just the same as their near neighbour, Samoa).

ZoneCompactor was using the system time zone database to get the offsets
instead of using the data it was compiling, so for newly added or recently
changed zones the index could be inconsistent with the data.
Affected zones: San_Luis, Casey, Davis, Mawson, Kathmandu, Novokuznetsk
