Updates to zipcode data

[phallguy]

I'm considering using area for a project that does a fair amount of geocoding already. Having a local database for US data would be a nice improvement. While the data is mostly static it does change from time to time. How does the area gem handle updates to the zipcode database?

Currently Area uses this data which is from free databases. I believe its only a few years old. If you have updates to it from more recent datasets please feel free to fork, add, and send a pull request.
