How to get when daylight saving starts and ends (date and time) fromjava script ?

I am trying to construct uclibc style timezone string(e.g. GMT
+0IST-1,M3.5.0/01:00:00,M10.5.0/02:00:00) from javascript but do not
know how can i get when DST starts and ends from my script.I need to
know which day/week/month and time if not 2 a.m when DST setting start
taking effect and also stop taking effect.

<rgqld@iinet.net.auposted:The Lord Howe Island change dates are typical. The special interest
lies in the amount of the clock change, 30 minutes, which means that the
second offset field cannot be blank (which means a change of one hour),
but must give the Summer offset as HH:MM.

should now be correct for Morocco and Mauritius, where they apparently
need J-type Summer Time rules rather than M-type. I don't think a TZ
string can accommodate the rules which seem to apply in Israel and in
Iran. Of course, OS support is needed for the proper Rules, and may be
lacking.

<rgqld@iinet.net.auposted:Winter time, 10:30 ahead of GMT; Summer, 11:00 ahead.
Start at 1st Sun of Oct at 02:00 clock, go ahead to 02:30.
Stop at 1st Sun of Apr at 02:00 clock, go back to 01:30.

All seems to be well. It agrees with all available information. That
section of js-datec.htm has now been put in js-date2.htm. All we need
now are tests in Morocco, Mauritius, Iran, Israel. Thanks.
