There were some errors ("unexpected version code") that I think were  
related to having a newer version of the TIGER data than the script  
was written for.  There were a very few other errors, but the data  
seemed OK.  If anyone finds a problem, post a message here and we'll  
have a look.

Not the source.  I did make a small change to a script when running  
the entire USA in one file; the way the script was written there was  
a single command that was over 17kb long, and for some reason linux  
had a problem with it. |:  Other than that, no changes.

I should also note that Tom did all the hard part on this and the  
TIGER shapefile maps; all I did was take advantage of a fat pipe and  
some idle machines. (:
