Thanks to a script that Scott Medlock sent me, I've successfully and painlessly updated DST on my FC4 webserver (and fixed the missing timezone files I inadvertantly deleted).
Thanks for all the wonderful assistance. All of you are the greatest!

As a fallback position, you can add this line to /etc/environment:
TZ=CST6CDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0
that defines the current ruleset. I researched this right after the law was passed, and since have been trying to get the powers that be at my company to adopt this as the solution for Unices without easy updates (for SCO and HP-UX, it's /etc/TIMEZONE, but the TZ syntax is the same).
