If any board house did that sort of thing, they'd be seriously in IPR 
nightmare zone...

I'll probably learn how to fiddle with gerber files, though, if nothing 
to learn more about them.  And I'm sort of a control freak, which also 
helps or hurts depending on how one looks at it.  :)

I have made gerber layers for my existing board, and I've placed the 
order for the non-profit version of Eagle about two hours ago.  If all 
goes well I should have a board ready to produce by next week, and I'll 
find out how painful/less it happens to be at that time :)
