I have now updated the rev03 board with almost all the suggestions I've gotten
from my kind reviewers Jacob, Peter, Pavel and bunnie.
I've also hopefully sorted out how to generate Gerbers properly - at least the
attached Gerbers loads just fine with the nifty online 3D viewer at
http://mayhewlabs.com/3dpcb (try it, really cool!) and online renderings from
two PCB houses look OK, and it looks good (to me) with the 'gerbv' Linux
viewer.
I'm not expecting more review, but if someone wants to take another look I
won't object =).

Thanks for all the good explanations and examples Jacob - I really appreciate
it.
I think there are gaps in the solder mask (see attached picture), so I'm
hoping this comment was due to bad Gerber generation earlier. I've checked the
footprint in Eagle and the pads do have the "Stop" checkbox checked.
