Gosh, how soon we get locked into relying upon these new-fangled inventions.

But, as it turns out, I needed to add another 0.1" in height to the
PICoBotboard - now 2.6" x 4.1" - and is be room to add a std ICSP header,
which would normally be:  Mclr-Vdd-Gnd-RB7-RB6

1- Will this be adequate for using new-fnagled ICDs and bootloader?

2 - Do you need RB3?

3 - The RB lines normally go straight into the ULN2803, which is about 5K
    input resistance. Will the ICD handle this loading ok?

Also, as this is a targeted application, and not a dev board, no way
it's ever gonna have a ZIF.
