I don't like an approach where the database would be downloaded from MaxMind and converted on the fly during the package process. Not only this adds a mandatory dependency on Python, it also prevents making deterministic builds (counters 0003255). Moreover, it will mean that we will either have to get rid of the "IP2C Update" feature from the program or automatize update of the IpToCountry.dat available from our home page or otherwise it may turn out that the preinstalled database is more up-to-date than the supposedly up-to-date database on the home page.
