New description:

 Now that we are making so many changes to tiger geocoder I fair breaking
 things.  Thus need to start writing up regression tests.

 Normalize_address is easy since most of what is needed for normalize can
 run with just the pre-packaged  lookup tables loaded.

 Geocode is harder since it needs real data so we might have to setup
 samples.

 Speed is important since any minor change we make can significantly impact
 speed, and that is even trickier to regress since its so dependent on
 database setup.

 Anyrate we'll just start setting up tests and hand test them as we make
 changes until we've got a better idea.
