Outlook uses BYDAY=3FR for things like the above, which of course is a
good idea!

That leaves us with just 3 timezones which we still need the above
type of format for (Antarctica/Palmer, America/Godthab &
America/Santiago). I'll probably just try the multiple RRULE thing and
check that it works. (Strangely Outlook still uses the BYDAY=2SA type
of thing for these, so either their timezone data is wrong or ours is!)
