[GRASSLIST:29] combining USGS DLG and TIGER line data

I'd like to get an eclectic mix of USGS DLG data, which is accurate but
lacking in labels, and TIGER line data, which is richly labeled but
lacking in accuracy.  A paper posted at ESRI's web site

http://gis.esri.com/library/userconf/proc01/professional/papers/pap610/p610.htm

refers to the problem of matching features and combining attributes from
different vector maps as "conflation" and apparently a company called
ESEA sells software to assist with the conflation task in ESRI's GIS. 
Is there a similar utility for the GRASS GIS?

Regards,
Greg
