[Server-devel] Server location awareness

This is a plug for #4282.

Each server will be distributed to a specific city; indeed, to a specific
schoolhouse.  With a single click on Google Maps or equivalent, the precise
latitude and longitude of this location can be determined, as well as the
address, village, city, province, and country.  All this information should be
stored on the school server, and transferred to the laptops when they register
with it.  Activities can then customize their experience to their precise
geographical location (at least, precise to within one city).

To me, the obvious applications for this location awareness are weather
forecasts and astronomical activities, but I'm sure there are others.
Implementation should be absolutely trivial.
