Comment(by yjoyas):

 Correct that file does not have the statefps since its not really handled
 by census group anymore.
 Also last I checked there were about 5 zips that crossed state lines.
 Am working on a script to import the contiguous file and associate it to
 the states they're in.
 After that updating the loader_create_script to read values from that
 table and insert into main table.
 Going to try with ogr2ogr as i think it's faster than sh2pgsl.
 Loading the entire US takes almost as much time as downloading all the
 files.
 Let me know your thoughts please.
