[Mono-dev] [PATCH] Read timezones from the registry on Windows.

This patch makes TimeZoneInfo.GetSystemTimeZones and
FindSystemTimeZoneById work based on the registry on Windows. Mono
currently reads from /usr/share/zoneinfo, which doesn't exist on
Windows.

This should fix bug 606084.

The code doesn't check whether it's running on (or compiled for)
Windows, just whether the appropriate registry key exists. I don't
know if that's the preferred way of doing things.

It won't fix the Local property on Windows. I think that requires a
Windows API call to get the id of the local timezone.
