 yyehhh it's a bitch doing these by hand.

 yehyeh thank you for that, makes it really clear.  the thing is
there's really not a lot of space, in which we need to get rid of
about...  i think it's something like almost 0.8mm length discrepancy:
difference between two BGA pads *and* the right-angle turn.  the
toradex-recommended wiggle method is fine for compensating for a
single 45 degree turn (found that out a few weeks back, now) but for
the amount of length discrepancy here it would be something like...
maybe... eight or nine toradex-style wiggles.

 i'll see how it looks.
