Since OUI and IAB have a slightly different format, the parsing is different,
too. I am not a perl programmer, so I just added a third URL and added parsing
code exactly the way it was done for the other two URLs. 

Maybe there should be a function to download a file, since that is the same for
all URLs. But I could not come up with a simple parser that handles both OUI-
and IAB-files properly.

If this patch would not contain the patch to 2619, there would be a problem:
either the iso8859-15 decoding would be missing from the new code to parse
IABs, or this patch would contain iso8859-15 decoding only for IABs, which I
would find error prone as well.
