For users to upgrade the tzdata, there are two procedures[1]:
1. Use icupkg to integrate the new time zone data in the ICU data file
2. Put the newer files in a directory and point ICU_TIMEZONE_FILES_DIR to it
The first option is currently hard to do on Windows, because you need the icupkg executable, which doesn't seem to available unless you compile from source yourself. The second requires setting an environment variable which is for a service is rather awkward to do[2].
To ease use of option 1, I suggest that we include a compiled version of icupkg in the Windows build.
