Yes, but they use non-standard locations, and afaik, pytz does not
support it. If a stdlib pytz would use this you would have to use
different timezone names for Unix and Windows. I don't think that's a
good idea.

Also, the windows data contains only current timezone data, so for
calendars stretching back in time, the Olsen database would be
preferable as it keeps history.
