[sdiy] Hand soldering TQFP packages

Seb,

> Anyone tried hand-soldering these 0.5mm pitch SMT packages?

I've done the AVR QFP packages until I blue in the face, they're a doddle.
I did solder an FPGA (XC2S200-6PQ208)  and that took me an AGE to get 
'right' on my fes2 board (http://fpga.f2g.net) I've no idea what the pitch 
was on that, but it looked like there was around 5 pins for every 2 of the 
AVR..
