sthen f9c57dc7d7 Update to GeoIP 1.6.0, and bundle an up-to-date geolite database
(along with a maintainer Makefile target to ease updates).
Handled properly with @sample to allow user updates.

Note that upstream no longer bundles the geoipupdate tool in the main
GeoIP software distribution (thus making this package LGPL only rather
than having any GPL components). geoipupdate could be provided as a
separate port if there's interest (it's only useful for paid subs
though).
