Do you realize where we're headed here?  We're starting to get to
the point where we'll have up-to-date maps months before all the
people using commercial map packages can get them...

If we had full support for Tiger/Line format via GDAL/OGR right now
(we have partial support currently), then we'd already be there for
the maps themselves.  Derrick is helping to make sure that our
Address Search is the latest.
