Maxminds API's are not nescessarily database dependant. I even think
they have an apache module. If not, writing one would be trivial.

However all these solutions would require mirrors to install the modules
on their servers no? or are we generating the mirror selection pages
statically, customised to the mirror region? if so, what exactly would
the ip2country modules be used for?

Sorry if I sound a bit lost... :)
