I might be missing something but this only lists the fairly trivial
normal and DST time offsets.  The posix timezone strings are a bit
more complicated as they encode normal time offset, dst offset, dst
switching rule and zone names for normal time and dst.

Unfortunately I don't know of a resource that provides a complete
set of posix timezone strings for all zones.  Also note that some
zones are as far as I know impossible to code as TZ strings due to
irregular dst rules.
