Well, we would like to rely on the XML files, so it's unlikely that we'll add 
that .tab file again. However, there's a new utility called isoquery (also 
available as Debian package) which makes it easy to create that tab file 
yourself (or any other tabular format you might need):

$ isoquery | cut -f 1,4 | sort > iso_3166.tab

Hope that helps. See the output of "isoquery --help" or "man isoquery" for 
more information and usage examples.

Regards,
Tobias
