Mixin inheritance is an alternative to the usual
multiple-inheritance and solves the problem of knowing which
parent will be called. It also solves a number of tricky
problems like diamond inheritence.
The idea is to solve the same sets of problems which MI solves
without the problems of MI.

- Removed a test that only passed with DateTime CVS HEAD installed.
- Fixed bugs in generated data for many time zones. Upgrading is highly
recommended!
- This version is _much_ better tested than any previous version. The script
tools/tests_from_zdump can be used to generate fairly comprehensive tests for
almost every time zone. The generated tests are not shipped with the
distribution because they are too huge, and take too long to run (400,000+
tests in about 25 minutes).

- documentation now clearly states that this is only a factory and describes
the basic interface of the returned objects.
- requires DBI 1.21 (or higher) and uses it to determine the database type
through proxy/ODBC connections.
