Let me say this is really worth the minimal effort.  I reconfigured 
with dbfawk and downloaded tgr2shp.dbfawk, and the Tiger data that I 
downloaded from the ESRI web site suddenly produced really nice maps.  
Street level detail goes away on zoomed-out views, then streets appear 
as you zoom in, then the actual street names appear as you get even 
closer.

Some day I may even learn to write a dbfawk file...

If I can get the topographical data from USGS working this well, I'll 
be so happy I'll probably just explode. (:
