MirrorManager GEO IP API

[Matt_Domsch at Dell.com]

https://github.com/mdomsch/geoip-city-wsgi
now has the decent start of a trivial lookup. It reads the IP address from the incoming connection, and responds with the JSON-formatted result from the GeoIP City lookup, which includes timezones.  Plug this into an apache web server and you're good to go.   It doesn't do IPv6 though - the python library doesn't support GeoIP City IPv6 lookups.

It's possible. 

First step it making sure the needed parts are packaged up.
