Yes, I have looked at this. I don't really see any advantage to supporting this database format. For one thing the GeoIP class is designed to work with the *binary* GeoIP database format (Maxmind) and not the CSV format. Most of the functionality provided by the class centers around the parsing of the binary data format. Writing a CSV version would be completely different (and would be a lot heavier as it would need to interop w/ a database server, etc.).
Just FYI, these guys provide a binary db of ip-to-country CVS: http://weirdsilence.net/ip2c.php Tomas V.V.Coox
