Comment:

 We've ammended the tiger geocoder to work with tiger 2010 and as far as we
 can tell, it works fine.  At least for Massachusetts data anyway.  We'll
 be stress testing it more with a consulting project we are currently
 working on and tweaking it as we go along, but we consider it more or less
 done.  It is now also documented as part of the official PostGIS docs.
 http://www.postgis.org/documentation/manual-svn/Extras.html#Tiger_Geocoder

 We still haven't gotten around to testing the loader script on linux if
 anyone else wants to take a stab at that.  Jan had tested it on Ubuntu for
 our book, and we incorporated his corrections as best we could.


 We may add a reverse geocoder function to it before we are done since
 we'll need to build that anyway for work we are currently doing, but will
 add that as a separate task item.
