Log message:
IP::Country does not use Geography::Countries at all; rather, it only
documents that the user may wish to employ Geography::Countries in his/her
own code. Remove extraneous DEPENDS.
IP::Country only requires Geo::IP if using the MaxMind database wrapper
IP::Country::MaxMind. The default recommended database in IP::Country doc
(IP::Country::{Medium,Fast}) is builtin to IP::Country and does not require
Geo::IP at all. Remove optional DEPENDS, and add a MESSAGE instead.
Bump PKGREVISION for changes.

Log message:
Initial version of the IP::Country perl module.
Finding the home country of a client using only the IP address can be
difficult. Looking up the domain name associated with that address can
provide some help, but many IP address are not reverse mapped to any
useful domain, and the most common domain (.com) offers no help when
looking for country.
This perl module comes bundled with a database of countries where various
IP addresses have been assigned. Although the country of assignment will
probably be the country associated with a large ISP rather than the
client herself, this is probably good enough for most log analysis
applications, and under test has proved to be as accurate as reverse-DNS
and WHOIS lookup.
