I have not made any updates to bulk_import.pl, as far as I know it still 
isn't 0.6 compatible.

I did upload a python version (bulk_import.py) and Ivan has done a PHP 
version both of which should work with 0.6.

I wasn't planning on doing all the provinces (at least at this stage).  I was 
going to do the 092c13 area for you but then I find it is easier for me to 
focus on one province at a time.  I am still working on merging nodes at 
intersections in Alberta, API downtime has delayed this (and that 092 
update) a bit.

I'm also hoping others will pick up some provinces.
