Another option would be to have a [Timezones9x] section that would set this data in the alternate location. But we would still need to duplicate all the data in the inf file anyway.

So I chose to just duplicate it all.
You missed one more option - use registry symlinks. The only problem is - win2k and winXP doesn't have those registry keys in win9x place.

That's an interesting option. Unfortunately Wine does not seem to support the registry symlinks (and I don't feel like tackling them). Also, INF files don't seem to provide a way to create such symlinks so we would need to create it programmatically... but in which dlls? I'm not sure it would be ok to add a DllRegister to gdi or other such 'low level' dlls.
