I haven't really dinked with v.in.tig.lndmk, but for vectors you can effectively
use a combination of m.in.stf1.tape and v.in.tig.basic . Specify the CFCC like
so:
	m.in.stf1.tape 56=A1 < original_type1_file > new_type1_file

and then

	v.in.tig.basic t1=new_type1_file t2=orig_type2_file out=new_vectorfile

and you will have your desired vector layer.

Later today or tomorrow I will be releasing a set of three scripts for 
extracting TIGER/Line data along with various attributes. Watch this list for
further info (I'm finishing the man pages).

Cheers,
