loadFromURI :: URI -> ReaderT ImportState IO ()

Given the URI to a primary.xml file in some package repository, load all its RPMs into the MDDB. This function must be run within the ReaderT monad, which should be given an ImportState record. This is how importing knows where to store the results. If the repo metadata data is invalid, a RepoException will be thrown. Other errors will be printed to the screen.
