Library Update: Compatibility with PyGeoIP

We use django-tracking with pygeoip rather than the C implementation
because it can be added as an external to svn and distributed easily. 
However there are a couple of minor incompatibilities with django-tracking
at the moment:

1) import GeoIP fails (think adding a try for pygeoip.GeoIP will fix that)

2) GeoIP in pygeoIP uses GeoIP(filename, args) rather than
Geo.open(filename, args)

3) GEOIP_MEMORY_CACHE is now MEMORY_CACHE

At the moment I have written a bit of a dirty hack in
syspath\GeoIP\__init__.py that contains the following to sit between
django-tracking and pygeoip:

from pygeoip import GeoIP as PyGeoIP
from pygeoip import MEMORY_CACHE

GEOIP_MEMORY_CACHE = MEMORY_CACHE
def open(filename, flags):
    return PyGeoIP(filename, flags)

If you could correct these issues I would love to rid myself of the dirty
hack :)
