ok so i chose the "prototype" option - no solder mask, no silkscreen,
just bare copper.

the rules for the eurocircuits proto boards are... both strict and
also odd.  there's a minimum via size which is quite huge (24mil
surround, 10mil drill), fortunately however i've been able to design
all 3 pcbs around that.  i believe it means that there is a big
advantage when it comes to production: lower cost! :)

also the 1kW IR soldering station is arriving tomorrow, it will be....
interesting to work out how to use it.  i will try some experiments
first...
