+This script downloads the latest version of the the mapfeed from
+SWOHOA[1] and then converts it into an SQLite database.
+
+1. Create the SQLite3 database
+
+Use a command like:
+
+$ sqlite3 ./swohoa.db
+
+And then, once in SQLite, simply exit like:
+
+sqlite> .exit
+
+2. Export from SQLite3
+
+sqlite3 ./swohao.db .dump > swohao.sql
