Remove country detection from IP
The database that this depended on hasn't been available for quite some time
now.

-/*
-
- This script uses the local copy of the ip-to-country.com
- database available on all php.net mirror sites to find
- out what country the user is in. This data is stored in
- a cookie for future usage, and another check is only done,
- if the cookie is expired.
-
- We have an index to speed up the search. The first line of
- the index file contains the step value used to create the
- index. The IP should be divided by this number, when an
- appropriate index entry is searched for. Then CSV formatted
- lines are placed in the file with the division results and
- starting indexes (pointing to the data file).
-
- The data file has a fixed record size format to ease
- fseek()ing. The format of the database is:
-
- n records representing IP range and country relations
- the format of a record is:
-
- - starting IP number [10 bytes, padded with zeros from left]
- - ending IP number [10 bytes, padded with zeros from left]
- - ISO country code [3 bytes / letters]
- - newline [1 byte: \n]
-
- IP numbers can be created with i2c_ip2num().
-
- Some things to consider:
-
- - Now 'NA' is stored in the cookie (no country detected).
- This is partly for safety reasons, not to bog down the
- server with country detection in case the data files are
- not there, or they are bogus, or the user has a non listed
- IP.
