Do these need to be user-changed, or are these something set once during
manufacturing.  If the latter, you can use solder jumpers.

I started experimenting with this idea a few years ago, and think I've got
the size and shape figured out pretty well now.  The jumper is a disk of
copper split up the middle with a gap and soldermask over the gap.  With th=
e
right size disk and gap, it's very easy to switch the jumper between open
and closed with a soldering iron.  After putting a medium glob of solder on
the two pads, a swipe with the soldering iron one way bridges the gap and
the other way opens it.

I have attached the Eagle script for this jumper package exported from my
connectors library.
