Pete,

HOORAY. We Need this.

I know of one company that makes lots and lots of boards in very small lots:

http://www.farcircuits.net/
They say: "...FAR Circuits is exclusively a manufacturer of Printed Circuit 
Boards for electronic projects that are used by the Amateur Radio and 
electronic hobby enthusiast. We supply boards in any quantity, but are 
geared toward low volume and individual circuit board users. ..."

In addition, one fellow on the Greenkeys (teletype) list has made small 
runs of simple to complicated circuit boards for ham projects. He is:
gil smith <gil at vauxelectronics.com>

There is a very lively industry segment supplying one-off or small runs of 
prototype or production circuit boards, although I don't know other 
companies.  Some of them operate with all digital exchanges: you send a 
board layout file, they ship the boards back to you the next day, and you 
pay online.

If we cooperate on this, we can accelerate the project.  I'm willing to do 
part of what's needed.
