I was hesitating to work on that simply because it is not interesting  
as 24/7 statistics of pageviews, though may be interesting to see a  
day-long snapshots with per-project+per-country split every quarter or  
so.
For that we'd need:

a) good UA header parser (in C...)
b) per-country (geoip) aggregator filter
c) managed short-term snapshots released every Xth period of time

a) is something I'd be really lazy to write myself
b) is on my top-list for other reasons (per-project/per-country counts  
may be interesting) - so I will eventually implement it (promised it  
to Stu ;-)
c) is a bit... complicated to work on, and _maybe_ could be done  
manually. of course, it is not much data, so we can leave it running  
non/stop, with daily aggregation schedule.
