What is posixtz (and why do we need it)? #80

I couldn't find any information about it other than its source code. I've read the source code a little, but I didn't come to any precise conclusion.

I'm in a rush right now, sorry for not elaborating more.

Ok, I think I figured out: it is basically a utility to get the POSIX timezone code from tzdb. Cool, I think I can close the case.

Cool! I always wanted to know. I think I got the idea to use it from Void or Alpine.

I forgot to keep track of dependencies, like in the LFS book, when I first got MLFS working. I used to include musl-rpmatch but later realized it's never used by any other package or even in B[M]LFS.
