[Imports] Joining/merging address attributes to existing footprints

[Stephen V. Mather]

Josh,
	Just the promise of it is awesome.  I'm hoping we'll be able to
streamline inputing a lot of our public domain datasets using it as well.

Best,
Steve

The conflation plugin is purely a hobby of mine, which is why it's
taken over a year to produce anything useful. I've recently made some
changes which should make the plugin far more useful, namely in that
undo/redo is now supported, you can conflate between layers, including
copying unmatched objects from the reference layer to the subject
layer, you can conflate multiple matches/objects at once, and a few
other minor changes. Next significant change should be to allowing
custom scores, as right now only distance is used. As far as
donations, if anyone finds it particularly useful I'd consider
accepting a dedicated GPS unit as a gift (my Android phone can be
flaky at times), but I don't think I'd take any money. Feedback, bug
reports, and code on the other hand are greatly desired. :)
