 There are two cities inside continents-cities.php file that refer to a
 single city. 'Ujung Pandang' is the old name of 'Makassar'.

 The timezone database used by PHP still consider both Asia/Makassar &
 Asia/Ujung_Pandang as valid timezone strings. But if we use the city list
 as an interface, it's better to merge them. Let's only use one of the
 timezone string.

 This page states 'Makassar is also known as Ujung Pandang'

 'Ujung Pandang' on wikipedia redirects to 'Makassar'
