One of the interesting issue with home-brew PCBs is that it can be
useful to ADD vias if it helps avoid relying on PTH for connections
from one side of the board to the other.  It's easy to solder a wire in
a via, and rather less easy to
ensure that a non-plated hole makes contact on both sides.  I don't
think I've found a good way to convince Eagle to do that sort of thing,
however.
