I was also thinking of an one-time import job for the AND data. But 
thinking about it, a more generic upload-import system
would be good idea since there are more bulkimports to go: the already 
mentioned TIGER data, but also the AND-China and AND-India. And I would 
not be surprised if more datasets will come available in the near future 
(Spain ?).
