Title: script to generate the disaggregated ebola cases prepop file

The script is not yet finished but is far enough advanced that others could use it to generate the pre-pop file and then provide feedback. It doesn't yet get the file remotely and so before running you will need to change line 18

The pre-pop file is created in the web2py directory along with an error file that will report upon which locations were ignored and also which data items were ignored.

The pre-pop file doesn't include a record if the value has not changed ensuring that the amount of raw data entered is reduced, is this a correct assumption?

Future additions are hinted at in the file... namely create a "diff" file and then import automatically. Update the pre-pop file in the template folder rather than web2py, and access the file remotely among other ideas.
