Well according to my investigation is't already done (on 2.0.1)!
( I would be happy for comments on this )

If you look at the source-CD (/usr/src/share/zoneinfo/datfiles/europe)
it is :
Rule    M-Eur   1981    max     -       Mar     lastSun  2:00s  1:00    " DST"
Rule    M-Eur   1996    max     -       Oct     lastSun  2:00s  0       -

as the last rules for M-Eur. 

I have not examined for other Zones although..

And i also assume 2.1 have kept this information.

I do not know if you can adjust this with a binary license, but
bsdi might help you out here (use your support aggreement)
