What you have to do is open it in Google Earth on a computer (PC or Mac) using the instructions in the readme. The BDB stuff will appear as a layer under My Places. You need to right click the map layer and choose the "Save Places As..." option. Then, save it as a .kml file. (.kmz files are essentially compressed ,kml files).
