    //! Creates a database of time_zones from csv datafile
    /*! The csv file containing the zone_specs used by the
     * tz_db_base is intended to be customized by the
     * library user. When customizing this file (or creating your own) the
     * file must follow a specific format.
     * 
     * This first line is expected to contain column headings and is therefore
     * not processed by the tz_db_base.
     *
     * Each record (line) must have eleven fields. Some of those fields can
     * be empty. Every field (even empty ones) must be enclosed in 
     * double-quotes.
     * Ex:
     * @code
     * "America/Phoenix" <- string enclosed in quotes
     * ""                <- empty field
     * @endcode
     * 
     * Some fields represent a length of time. The format of these fields 
     * must be:
     * @code
     * "{+|-}hh:mm[:ss]" <- length-of-time format
     * @endcode
     * Where the plus or minus is mandatory and the seconds are optional.
     * 
     * Since some time zones do not use daylight savings it is not always 
     * necessary for every field in a zone_spec to contain a value. All 
     * zone_specs must have at least ID and GMT offset. Zones that use 
     * daylight savings must have all fields filled except: 
     * STD ABBR, STD NAME, DST NAME. You should take note 
     * that DST ABBR is mandatory for zones that use daylight savings 
     * (see field descriptions for further details).
     *
     * ******* Fields and their description/details ********* 
     *     
     * ID: 
     * Contains the identifying string for the zone_spec. Any string will
     * do as long as it's unique. No two ID's can be the same. 
     *
     * STD ABBR:
     * STD NAME:
     * DST ABBR:
     * DST NAME:
     * These four are all the names and abbreviations used by the time 
     * zone being described. While any string will do in these fields, 
     * care should be taken. These fields hold the strings that will be 
     * used in the output of many of the local_time classes. 
     * Ex:
     * @code
     * time_zone nyc = tz_db.time_zone_from_region("America/New_York");
     * local_time ny_time(date(2004, Aug, 30), IS_DST, nyc);
     * cout << ny_time.to_long_string() << endl;
     * // 2004-Aug-30 00:00:00 Eastern Daylight Time
     * cout << ny_time.to_short_string() << endl;
     * // 2004-Aug-30 00:00:00 EDT
     * @endcode
     *
     * NOTE: The exact format/function names may vary - see local_time 
     * documentation for further details.
     *
     * GMT offset:
     * This is the number of hours added to utc to get the local time 
     * before any daylight savings adjustments are made. Some examples 
     * are: America/New_York offset -5 hours, & Africa/Cairo offset +2 hours.
     * The format must follow the length-of-time format described above.
     *
     * DST adjustment:
     * The amount of time added to gmt_offset when daylight savings is in 
     * effect. The format must follow the length-of-time format described
     * above.
     *
     * DST Start Date rule:
     * This is a specially formatted string that describes the day of year
     * in which the transition take place. It holds three fields of it's own,
     * separated by semicolons. 
     * The first field indicates the "nth" weekday of the month. The possible 
     * values are: 1 (first), 2 (second), 3 (third), 4 (fourth), 5 (fifth), 
     * and -1 (last).
     * The second field indicates the day-of-week from 0-6 (Sun=0).
     * The third field indicates the month from 1-12 (Jan=1).
     * 
     * Examples are: "-1;5;9"="Last Friday of September", 
     * "2;1;3"="Second Monday of March"
     *
     * Start time:
     * Start time is the number of hours past midnight, on the day of the
     * start transition, the transition takes place. More simply put, the 
     * time of day the transition is made (in 24 hours format). The format
     * must follow the length-of-time format described above with the 
     * exception that it must always be positive.
     *
     * DST End date rule:
     * See DST Start date rule. The difference here is this is the day 
     * daylight savings ends (transition to STD).
     *
     * End time:
     * Same as Start time.
