Is there any reason why src/timezone/tznames/Europe.txt is encoded in
latin1 and not utf-8?

The offending lines are these timezones:

MESZ     7200 D  # Mitteleuropäische Sommerzeit (German)
                 #     (attested in IANA comments though not their code)

MEZ      3600    # Mitteleuropäische Zeit (German)
                 #     (attested in IANA comments though not their code)

It's not important for anything, just general sanity. (Spotted by
Debian's package checker, lintian.)
