They are for UK, US and Australia. Only NOAA seems to provide current 
weather conditions for countries outside the US, but the coverage is not 
great and it seems to be constrained to the area around airports.

BTW: The library is available for gnome2 too.

I will look at their timezone db stuff, though not for 0.8.1.
