In earlier versions of this patch, there was a configure-parameter "--enable-geoip" to explicitly enable the geoip-extension. If you use this parameter with patch-20070115, it acts like "--disable-geoip"! Beware of using the --enablie-geoip option if you want to enable GeoIP. This took me some time to locate this error...
Anyway - thank you for keeping the geopatch alive!
