Add example for primary care in Illinois -- populations (TP2I1), times, and primary care physicians (TG_DOC) and dentists (TDNTNF_PRA`) -- and Illinois census tract geometry as centroids.

• [ ] Extract the populations (including dentists, or other service providers) from the dbf file. Ask Jamie for help/code, if necessary.
• [ ] Extract the Illinois times from csv.bz2 file
• [ ] Grab the 2010 Census Tracts cartographic boundary file for Illinois.
• [ ] Make these into a simple geojson of just geoid (as an int) and point. My preferred CRS is 3528.
• [ ] Do something clever so that these get loaded in a moderately natural way when people import examples.

Just following up on the example directory (this is for the week of July 15) for IL, for unit tests.

I see two options for homes for this data.

1. We were planning to host the OD matrices on the rcc account, so it could go there.
2. It could go on figshare, as times.csv.bz2 currently is.

Either way, you would just check to see if the file exists and, if not, ask the user and wget it. There is a nice python wget library, and I believe urllib can also do it. (Obviously, for unit tests, there should be a flag to bypass the user input.)
