Followup here:

  Ended up designing a pretty small little board (0.75" x 0.70") that
should do nicely, using a 2mm 16-pin connector.

  I may go up a little in size by the time I finish (I'm trying to
minimize cost of the whole system, so cost of SMD vs. DIL PICs, PCB
holes, SMD vs. through-hole parts, etc. will all have to balance out
here.)  Balancing costs should be interesting <G>

  Think I'll wait on all that until I get some code work done.  Needed
the connector pinout designed, have that now <G>
