Most of my experience has been with ICU. The timezone.h header has a 
TimeZone C++ class, and this has a static method called 
createEnumeration which returns a StringEnumeration. This can be used 
to generate all of the time zone names that ICU "knows" about.

The same basic support exists in Java, via ICU.
