ok richard i've redone the layout, and published 3 images here:
http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/news/

the 3rd one - showing the full extent of the 4 diff pairs - is
enormous (right-mouse-button, view image) as it's a screenshot from
this laptop's 3000x1800 LCD.  so you should be able to zoom in without
losing resolution.

unfortunately since taking the screenshot i noticed that the GND
runners between the diff-pairs have been removed: i will restore
these.  PADS has a bug where when you switch off "locking" of tracks /
nets it can suddenly decide "ohhh i'll just re-analyse this lot and
remove anything i don't like the look of" which in this case involved
removing several shielding GND vias and some of the manual GND tracks
that help with shielding, in places where flood-fill could not reach
due to the small size.

anyway i'll add back in the 5mil tracks between the diff-pairs, if
you're wondering why they're missing (they're not).

to make it easier to view i switched off layers 2-4, leaving top and
bottom only.  the HDMI tracks are only *on* top and bottom, anyway.
they're all length-matched diff-pairs to within 0.1mm, the clock lines
are something like 52.8 mm and i think the shortest one, Tx2, is
48.5mm something like that.
