I know someone who does this regularly -- but he has to check the market
himself a bit, and also the customer, in that it becomes kind of a joint
venture: he designs and manufactures the thingy, and the other markets and
sells it.

As for the resume, I second Adam: leave stuff out that's not relevant for a
certain position. Market yourself to a specific position. I also always use
customized resumes (when I use them), in that I do different things; how
much I know about multi-tiered web applications is usually not relevant for
someone looking for a microcontroller developer, and my experience in small
micro C programming is not that relevant when applying for the job of
leading a distributed team of web programmers.
