+# From Mariano Absatz (2009-03-13):
+# Yesterday (with our usual 2-day notice) the Province of San Luis
+# decided that next Sunday instead of "staying" @utc-03:00 they will go
+# to utc-04:00 until the second Saturday in October...

+# (I couldn't find the decree, but
+# <a href="http://www.sanluis.gov.ar">
+# www.sanluis.gov.ar

+# http://www.lanacion.com.ar/nota.asp?nota_id=1107912
+# </a>
+# 
+# The press release says:
+#  (...) anunció que el próximo domingo a las 00:00 los puntanos deberán
+# atrasar una hora sus relojes.
+#
+# A partir de entonces, San Luis establecerá el huso horario propio de
+# la Provincia. De esta manera, durante el periodo del calendario anual
+# 2009, el cambio horario quedará comprendido entre las 00:00 del tercer
+# domingo de marzo y las 24:00 del segundo sábado de octubre.
+# Quick&dirty translation
+# (...) announced that next Sunday, at 00:00, Puntanos (the San Luis
+# inhabitants) will have to turn back one hour their clocks
+#
+# Since then, San Luis will establish its own Province timezone. Thus,
+# during 2009, this timezone change will run from 00:00 the third Sunday
