APNIC.Parser

Simply to take the format which APNIC releases and turn it into a more useful format (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIDR_notation)

The default options are:

• download source file from ftp://ftp.apnic.net/public/apnic/stats/apnic/delegated-apnic-extended-latest
• cache the file at delegated-apnic-extended-latest.cached
• if the cache is older than a day it downloads it again
• output to the console
• output to the clipboard
• limited to the AU location
• limited to the ipv4 type
