@springmeyer,
How easy can we make it to join a CSV file to SQLite in TileMill?

For example say I have a CSV file of Country names and a SQLite file with the geometries for all countries. If I could easily join the country columns I could just use my CSV file to create a shaded polygon map.

As you know @dhcole is working w/ @ajashton + data team to package a significant amount of SQLite files as part of Dept. Ed work and we could add these to MapBox geodata cloud, which is why I'm asking. Here is the current backlog

> ### spatial
- Census blocks
- Census tracks
- school districts
- zipcodes
- (maybe) legislative districts (atlas specific)
- counties
- media markets (atlas specific)
- congressional districts
- states
- countries
