I'm afraid that I don't have any way to generate geograpic information. Sorry.

Do you have IP addresses, if so I can convert those to country with somewhere
around 95% accuracy

I'll check.  Unfortuntely, I'm leaving town in 2 days so now is not the ideal
time to produce such figures.  The downloads database is on wwwmaster if you
want to take a stab at it, but I have normalization code that weeds out
duplicates and sorts by PG version & platform.

The database on wwwmaster already contains the country code as returned
by the ip-to-country mapping that's in the wwwmaster database. I'm
unsure of how updated it is, but it should give you most of them the
right way. So you can just use the field "country" along with whatever
normalization you were already doing.

Oh, ok.  I can do this when I get back.

Or I can give Darcy rights on my server ... with the understanding that my
scripts are not documented ...
