[HOT] Central African Republic import of WRI data

[Andrew Buck]

Regarding areas with no imagery.  I would still say to import the roads.  A
couple hundred meters off is a lot, but it is better to have the
'connectivity' mapped (i.e. what town connects to what other town) than to
have nothing at all.  Someone following the road in a car does not mind
that their GPS tells them they are "beside" the road.  Also, it is my
understanding that the data has some road names and such so I would import
them to get that.  They can always be refined later when bing becomes
available.  The imagery is being added fast, and just in the last year we
have gone from only a few cities in Africa to much of the continent being
covered.  I expect much of the rest to come online shortly.

Importing some of the data now and the rest later brings its own problems,
so I would suggest putting it in.
