Description
Old C compilers don't allow declarations in for loops:
TimeZone_md.c:139:9: error: ���for��� loop initial declarations are only allowed in C99 mode
         for (unsigned int i = 0; i < sizeof (popularZones) / sizeof (popularZones[0]); i++) {

Such old compilers may be no longer officially supported, but it can be fixed very easily.
