-------------------------------------

Thanks Lars and Stack. I actually had a chance to play around with this a bit over the weekend and it certainly suited my purposes of being able to restore in a reasonable timeframe should disaster strike. We are actually still on 0.90.4 so I backported the relevant portions of the changes to that version of Import. Happy to create a patch if folks think that might be interesting.

> importtsv support importing into a life table or to generate HFiles for bulk load.
> import should allow the same.
> Could even consider merging these tools into one (in principle the only difference is the parsing part - although that is maybe for a different jira).
